U.S. 422 West Night Lane Closures this Week in Valley Forge Area for Bridge
Work

10/24/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Westbound U.S. 422 will be reduced to one lane between the U.S. 23 (Valley
Forge Road) and Route 363 (Trooper Road) interchanges in Upper Merion and
West
Norriton townships, Montgomery County, on Tuesday, October 25, from 9:00 PM
to
6:00 AM the following morning for expansion joint repairs, the Pennsylvania

Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel on U.S. 422 west
during this overnight operation because slowdowns will occur. The
contractor's
work schedule is dependent on the weather.

In the event the contractor does not complete the operation in one night,
westbound U.S. 422 will be restricted to one lane from 9:00 PM Wednesday,
October 26, to 6:00 AM Thursday, October 27.

This work is part of PennDOT's $97.4 million project to build new, wider
structures to improve travel on U.S. 422 at its crossings over the
Schuylkill
River, Norfolk Southern Railroad, South Trooper Road and the Schuylkill
River
Trail.

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