Construction Continues Next Week on U.S. 422 Improvement Project
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction activities are planned next week on U.S. 422 under an $83.6 million project to reconstruct and improve approximately 1.7 miles of the expressway and replace bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, March 25, through Thursday, March 28, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on eastbound U.S. 422 between Keim Street and Evergreen Road for shoulder reconstruction and clearing.
- Monday, March 25, through Thursday, March 28, from 4:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a lane closure will be in place on westbound U.S.422 between Evergreen Road and Hanover Street for shoulder reconstruction and clearing.
- Monday, March 25, through Thursday, March 28, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, a flagger-controlled lane closure will be in place on westbound Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) between Bridge Street and Route 23 (Ridge Road) in East Vincent and Pikeland townships, Chester County, for aerial fiber installation.
- Wednesday, March 27, and Thursday, March 28, from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, intermittent 15-minute traffic stoppages and traffic paces will take place on eastbound and westbound U.S. 422 between Evergreen Road and Armand Hammer Boulevard for controlled blasting.
The stoppages and paces are required for the protection of motorists and workers so crews can safely perform controlled rock blasting to excavate the area for drainage construction.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
