On October 14, 15, and 16, West Confederate Avenue in Gettysburg National Military Park will be closed from 3 p.m. until 6 a.m. each day for repaving. The temporary closure affects the portion of West Confederate Avenue from PA 116 (Middle Street/Fairfield Road) to Pumping Station Road/Millerstown Road.

Pleasonton Avenue will be partially closed for paving on October 12-13, with restricted traffic flow. Visitors are cautioned to heed traffic signs and warnings on this avenue during these days.

The project is part of a $ 3.4 million roads project on the Gettysburg battlefield funded through the Federal Lands Highway Program.
