Bridge Repairs in Both Directions
The bridge repairs are scheduled under a $6.2 million project to resurface and repair a 4.4-mile section of 422 in Limerick and Upper Providence townships, Montgomery County. Travel restrictions are anticipated:
- Monday, Oct, 26, through Thursday, Oct. 29, from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, with a lane closure in place on eastbound 422 between Royersford Road and Troutman Road; and
- Monday, Oct. 26, through Thursday, Oct. 29, from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning, with a lane closure will be in place on westbound 422 between Troutman Road and Royersford Road.
Project general contractor, Allan Myers Inc. of Worcester PA, will perform pavement preservation work. It includes milling, application of a bituminous overlay, reapplying pavement markings, and reinstalling edge-line rumble strips. Base repair work will also be performed as needed.
Guiderail Installations Westbound
This work is part of PennDOT’s $83.6 million project to reconstruct and improve about 2.1 miles of the expressway, and replace bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road. Travel restrictions are anticipated:
- Thursday, Oct. 29, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a right lane closure will be in place on westbound 422 between the Sanatoga (Evergreen Road) and Hanover Street interchanges.
Anticipate Delays
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when driving through the work areas. Backups and delays will occur, PennDOT says. The work schedule depends on acceptable weather.
