Paving work at Gettysburg National Military Park will cause impacts this summer/NPS graphic

A paving project that is expected to run four months will create some travel problems at Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.

The project, which is set to start May 22, involves park roads on the southern portion of the battlefield. This four-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. Park roads may be fully closed or reduced to a single lane of traffic. However, no work will occur during the events of the 160th Anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg commemoration from July 1-3, weekends, or federal holidays.

Roads to be repaved in May and June 2023 include: (dates may change due to weather or other impacts)

  • Howe Avenue: May 22 to 26 – Full Closure.

  • Birney Avenue: May 23 to 26 – Full Closure.

  • North Sickles Avenue: May 23 to 26 – Full Closure.

  • Sedgwick Avenue: May 30 to June 2 – Full Closure.

  • Humphreys Avenue: May 31 to June 2 – Full Closure.

  • Hancock Avenue (from Cyclorama Drive to Pleasonton Avenue): June 5 to 14 – Full Closure.

  • Hancock Avenue (from Pleasonton Avenue to United States Avenue): June 5 to 14 – One Lane, Controlled Access.

  • United States Avenue: June 19 to 27 – One Lane, Controlled Access.

Roads to be repaved in July, August, and September include: (dates will be provided when scheduled)

  • South Confederate Avenue.

  • Ayers Avenue.

  • South Sickles Avenue, including the Devil’s Den parking lot.

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.
