Montgomery County

5/30/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Weekday lane restrictions are scheduled on Troxel Road/Orvilla Road,
between
Sumneytown Pike and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Towamencin Township,
Montgomery
County, beginning Wednesday, May 31, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for milling
and
paving as part of a $4.5 million project to repair and resurface 20 miles
of
state highway in Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The weekday lane restriction will
be
in effect through Friday, June 23.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through this work
zone
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:

• Swamp Creek Road between Whites Mill Road/Swamp Creek Road and Upper
Ridge
Road in Marlborough Township;
• Route 63 (Welsh Road/Moreland Road) between Village Road/Jarrettown Road
and
Willow Brook Drive/Edge Hill Road in Horsham, Upper Dublin, Abington and
Upper
Moreland townships;
• Route 113 (Third Avenue/Rahns Road) between Boro Line Road and Route 29
(Gravel Pike) in Trappe Borough and Perkiomen Township;
• Route 113 (Harleysville Pike/Main Street) between Route 63 (Sumneytown
Pike)
and East Broad Street/West Broad Street in Souderton Borough, Franconia and

Lower Salford townships;
• Broad Street between Route 63 (Main Street) and Route 309 (Bethlehem
Pike) in
Lansdale Borough and Hatfield Township; and
• Sandy Hill Road between Fairfield Road and east of Rolling Hill Drive in
Plymouth Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill 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.
