Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work

zones because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's
schedule is dependent on the weather.

The additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract

include:

• U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) between Church Road and U.S. 1 (City Avenue)
in
Lower Merion Township;
• King Street between Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) and Manatawny Street in
Pottstown Borough;

and

• Route 41 (Audobon Road) between Pawlings Road and Route 363 (Trooper
Road) in
Lower Providence Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill off the existing roadway
surface and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement
will
seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface. All

work on the project is expected to be completed in July 2017.

H & K Group, Inc., of Schwenksville, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on the $5,439,980 project, which is financed with 100 percent
state
funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.
