GETTYSBURG, PA – Beginning Monday July 29, park roads on the eastern portion of the battlefield in the Culp’s Hill and Spangler’s Spring areas, Hunt Avenue, Coster Avenue, and Benner Hill will be repaved. This three-month project will address road surfaces that are at the end of their lifespan.

This project requires road closures that will temporarily interrupt the ability to visit portions of the battlefield while work is ongoing. A mix of daytime and nighttime work will occur. Park roads may be fully closed, intermittently closed, or reduced to a single lane of traffic. No work is expected to occur on weekends or federal holidays, but this is subject to change due to adverse weather conditions.

Scheduled paving dates are subject to change. Every effort will be made to complete the work as expeditiously as possible as well as minimize disruptions for park visitors. Full details on the schedule of road work will be made available on the park website and social media platforms as details become available.
