PennDOT said repair on micro-surfacing, which was scheduled to start Monday night, was canceled due to rainy weather.
The project was for Interstate 81 in the Carlisle area and western Cumberland County.
PennDOT said the contractor has an aggressive schedule and work will proceed Tuesday night if it's not raining. The contract expects to wrap up the project in about two months, PennDOT said.
The construction project began last August and was suspended in the fall with the onset of cold weather. The overall project limits extend from Exit 37 (Newville) in Penn Township to Exit 48 (York Street) in South Middleton Township.
Motorists may encounter single-lane traffic restrictions in the vicinity of the construction work on weeknights and also weekends between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. the next day.
PennDOT said this portion of Interstate 81 averages between 40,800 to 68,650 vehicles a day, with heavy trucks accounting for about 25 percent of the traffic.
Drivers should slow down when approaching and traveling through the work zone.
PennDOT contracted with New York Bituminous Products Corp. of Chester, N.Y., to conduct work at a cost of $2.3 million.
