Line Painting Operations Next Week on I-76, I-476 U.S. 422 and U.S. 202
4/29/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is scheduled to
paint
new traffic lines on Interstate 76, Interstate 476, U.S. 422 and U.S. 202
in
the Philadelphia region next week.
Weather permitting, the line painting schedule is:
• On Saturday, April 30, from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the slow-moving line
painting
operation is scheduled on eastbound and westbound U.S. 422 between the
Route
363 (Trooper Road) and Oaks interchanges in Lower Providence Township,
Montgomery County;
• On Monday, May 2, through Wednesday, May 4, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, line
painting crews will restripe eastbound and westbound I-76 between U.S. 202
and
Passyunk Avenue in Montgomery County and Philadelphia;
• On Wednesday, May 4, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, crews will paint U.S. 202
between I-76 and the Delaware state line in Montgomery, Chester and
Delaware
counties; and
• On Wednesday, May 4 and Thursday, May 5, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the
slow-moving line painting operation is scheduled on northbound and
southbound
I-476 between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 95 in Montgomery and
Delaware counties; and
Traffic line painting can only be performed when the weather is warm and
dry,
because rain, high humidity or temperatures below 50 dress will increase
the
normal drying time of between 90 and 120 seconds. Paint trucks may also be
rerouted to paint another state highway in the event of excessive traffic
volume or significant delays on the scheduled roadway.
PennDOT line-painting crews use sophisticated equipment that heats the
paint to
about 110 degrees and then sprays the material on the roadway. While the
paint
is still wet, beads made of recycled glass are automatically applied to
provide
reflectivity. PennDOT uses nearly 900,000 pounds of glass beads in
southeastern
Pennsylvania.
PennDOT urges motorists to use caution, stay a considerable distance behind
an
operating paint truck, and do not drive across freshly painted lines.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by

will
be able to learn more about tourism hot spots across Pennsylvania."
In addition, Richards noted that visitors will also have the opportunity to
receive free promotional items from state tourism partners and to learn
about
various products made in Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania's Welcome Centers are open 24 hours a day, and tourism staff
is
available at most locations from 7 AM to 7 PM, seven days a week, including

4/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, May 9, on a four-month, $2.8
million
project to rehabilitate the structurally-deficient Adams Avenue bridge over

The improvement plan also consists of removing the earthen fill inside the
structure and replacing it with lightweight concrete; rebuilding the
existing
wing walls that extend from the support abutments; widening the right turn
lane
onto Crescentville Road to improve traffic flow through the intersection;
and
installing scour protection around the support abutments and piers.
Adams Avenue will be closed and detoured between Newtown Avenue and
Crescentville Road during construction. Adams Avenue through traffic will
be
detoured over Rising Sun Avenue, Olney Avenue, North Front Street and East
Godfrey Avenue. Traffic signal timings will be adjusted along the detour
route
to accommodate additional traffic at the affected intersections.
The bridge was built 1901 and carries approximately 16,000 vehicles a day.
The
structure is 71 feet long and 26 feet wide.
Loftus Construction, of Cinnaminson, N.J. is the general contractor on the
$2,813,000 contract that is financed with 100 percent state funds. The
bridge
is scheduled to reopen by September 2. The entire project is expected to

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) this afternoon
reopened
Route 32 (River Road) between Walters Lane and Point Pleasant Pike in
Tinicum
and Plumstead townships, Bucks County, following the successful removal of
the
temporary bridge at Point Pleasant.
Route 32 (River Road) was closed to traffic on April 4 to allow crews to
safely
remove the temporary bridge that was built to carry motorists during the
construction of the new Route 32 (River Road) over Tohickon Creek.
Construction began in December 2013 to build the newly opened, two-span,
precast, concrete-arch structure. The new bridge is adorned with an
aesthetic
stone finish on the support abutments and wing walls. It is 160 feet long
and
37 feet wide. It has two 11-foot travel lanes, a six-foot-wide sidewalk
adjacent to the northbound travel lane, and three-foot shoulders.
The former bridge, built in 1922, was a two-span, reinforced concrete-arch
structure that was 156 feet long and 27 feet wide.
Loftus Construction, Inc., of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
the $5,970,000 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds. All

paint new traffic lines on Interstate 76, Interstate 476 and U.S. 202 in
the Philadelphia region next week.
4/22/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is scheduled to
paint
new traffic lines on Interstate 76, Interstate 476 and U.S. 202 in the
Philadelphia region next week.
Weather permitting, the line painting schedule is:
• On Monday, April 25, Wednesday, April 27, Thursday, April 28, and Friday,
April 29, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, line painting crews will restripe
eastbound
and westbound I-76 between U.S. 202 and Passyunk Avenue in Montgomery
County
and Philadelphia;
• On Monday, April 25, and Tuesday, April 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
crews
will paint U.S. 202 between I-76 and the Delaware state line in Montgomery,
Chester and Delaware counties;
• On Wednesday, April 27, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the slow-moving line
painting operation is scheduled on northbound and southbound I-476 between
the
Pennsylvania Turnpike and Interstate 95 in Montgomery and Delaware
counties; and
Traffic line painting can only be performed when the weather is warm and
dry,
because rain, high humidity or temperatures below 50 dress will increase
the
normal drying time of between 90 and 120 seconds. Paint trucks may also be
rerouted to paint another state highway in the event of excessive traffic
volume or significant delays on the scheduled roadway.
PennDOT line-painting crews use sophisticated equipment that heats the
paint to
about 110 degrees and then sprays the material on the roadway. While the
paint
is still wet, beads made of recycled glass are automatically applied to
provide
reflectivity. PennDOT uses nearly 900,000 pounds of glass beads in
southeastern
Pennsylvania.
PennDOT urges motorists to use caution, stay a considerable distance behind
an
operating paint truck, and do not drive across freshly painted lines.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by
