Interstate 83 - Oakleigh, Pennsylvania
| Perspective from Interstate 283 north
|
| Overheads on Interstate 283 northbound at Interstate 83/U.S. 322. The control points for Interstate 83 reflect the connections with Interstate 81 north and U.S. 322 westbound. This interchange features left-hand ramps as part of the overall stack. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (7/00).
|
| One lane is afforded for Interstate 283 northbound traffic to Interstate 83 north/U.S. 322 west (Exit 3B). This photograph shows the lane allocation at Exit 3C for U.S. 322 east. Traffic departing to the right will reach Hershey in ten miles, as U.S. 322 carries four lanes in a varying freeway/expressway configuration. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman/Andy Field (10/01).

| Perspective from Interstate 83 north
|
| Northbound on Interstate 83 at the junction of Interstate 283 and U.S. 322. Interstate 83 turns from an easterly orientation to the north, now part of the Capital Beltway designation. Pennsylvania 283, which begins two miles south of this junction, is a 29 mile freeway between Interstate 283/Harrisburg to Lancaster (hence the inclusion of that city on the Interstate 283 panel). Photo taken by Alex Nitzman/Andy Field (10/01).
|
| As part of this mega-interchange, U.S. 322 eastbound splits from Interstate 83 southbound to follow Eisenhower Blvd. Then U.S. 322 exits Eisenhower Blvd. and *rejoins* Interstate 83 *northbound* before exiting again and heading east toward Hershey. This photo shows U.S. 322 eastbound having rejoined Interstate 83 in the vicinity of Interstate 283. U.S. 322 eastbound is the rightmost lane, and is completely separated from Interstate 83 here. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).

| Perspective from Interstate 83 south
|
| Interstate 83 southbound/U.S. 322 eastbound at Union Deposit Road/Exit 48. A two-mile guide sign for the upcoming junction with Interstate 283 is the first advertising the upcoming terminus. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).
|
| The large stack interchange of Interstate 83/283 is forthcoming. U.S. 322 exits first, ending the Interstate 83/U.S. 322 duplex, with Interstate 283 beginning by exiting left soon thereafter. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).
|
| U.S. 322 departs at Exit 47 as Interstate 83 prepares to make its westward jaunt into downtown Harrisburg. The main travel lanes will transition to Interstate 283 south in a short distance. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).
|
| Perspective from U.S. 322 west
|
| U.S. 322 westbound at the northern terminus of Interstate 283 (left-exit). The control point is indicated as "Airport". This reflects the connection to Harrisburg International Airport at Middletown via Pennsylvania 283. The eastbound lanes of U.S. 322 transition into Interstate 83, only four miles from the state capital. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).
|
| Another view of U.S. 322 westbound at its junction with Interstates 83 and 283. The stack interchange can be seen in the distance. U.S. 322 overlaps with Interstate 83 for its final five miles to Interstate 81. Photo taken by Alex Nitzman (7/00).
|
| The first Interstate 283 shield comes into view from U.S. 322 westbound. The highest flyover ramp takes Interstate 83 traffic from its east-west alignment to its north-south alignment. This is part of the Capital Beltway configuration for the city of Harrisburg. Photo taken by Tim Reichard (08/19/02).
