U.S. 422 Night Lane Closures Planned Next Week in Valley Forge Area

5/27/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Nighttime travel restrictions are scheduled next week on U.S. 422 in the
Valley
Forge area of Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation
(PennDOT) said today.

This work is associated with the $97.4 million project to build new, wider
bridges to improve travel and carry U.S. 422 motorists over the Schuylkill
River, Norfolk Southern Railroad, South Trooper Road and Schuylkill River
Trail
in West Norriton, Upper Merion and Lower Providence townships. The project
includes improving U.S. 422 between the Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and
Route
363 (Trooper Road) interchanges; upgrading Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) at
its
interchange with U.S. 422; and improving ramps at the Route 363 (Trooper
Road),
Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and First Avenue interchanges. Construction
started in February 2016 and is scheduled to finish in May 2020.

U.S. 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one in both directions between
First
Avenue and Route 363 (Trooper Road) on Tuesday, May 31, through Thursday,
June
2, for shoulder reconstruction, shoulder paving, and drainage installation.
The
lane closure on U.S. 422 east will be in place each night from 7:00 PM to
5:00
AM the following morning. The westbound lane closure will occur from 9:00
PM to
6:00 AM the following morning.

Lane restrictions also are planned on northbound North Gulph Road at the
intersection with Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) in Upper Merion Township on
Tuesday, May 31, to Friday, June 3 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for unground
conduit
installation.

The contractor's work schedules are dependent on the weather.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$97,380,711 contract. The project is financed with 80 percent federal and
20
percent state funds.
