Lane restrictions planned on Old Route 15 in White Deer Township

Drivers using Old Route 15 in White Deer Township should expect single-lane traffic and flagging next Tuesday while Gray Builders installs a curb at 604 Old Route 15, just north of Route 642 and the Route 15 northbound entrance ramp. The work is scheduled for June 9 and is expected to slow trips through the corridor during the daytime.

PennDOT District 3 said the job will run from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather permitting. Motorists are being told to slow down and watch for slow-moving or stopped traffic through the work zone, a warning that is especially important in the tight stretch of roadway near the highway connection. Even a short curb project in that location could affect turn movements and access for vehicles coming into or leaving the property.

The project is tied to rabbittransit, which serves Union County, suggesting the curb work is part of transit-related property or infrastructure needs rather than a routine roadside repair. For anyone traveling between township homes, businesses and the Route 15 interchange, the best way to avoid surprises will be to plan ahead and check 511PA before leaving. PennDOT says the service provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras, with updates available online, through a smartphone app or by calling 5-1-1.

The curb installation also comes after PennDOT’s resurfacing work on the same Old Route 15 corridor last year. In August 2025, the agency announced milling and paving between Route 642 in West Milton and White Deer Pike, also known as Route 1010, showing that the roadway has remained in an active maintenance cycle. For White Deer Township, that means this week’s curb job is not just a small construction notice. It is another sign that the corridor feeding the Route 15 interchange is still changing in ways that can affect daily travel, property access and how quickly residents and businesses move through northern Union County.
