Weeknight lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 63 (Welsh Road/Moreland
Road) and Route 113 (Harleysville Pike/Main Street) for milling and paving
operations as part of an improvement project to repair and resurface 20
miles
of state highway in Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Tuesday, September 5, through Friday, September 15, from 7:00 PM to 5:00
AM,
weeknight lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 113 (Harleysville
Pike/Main
Street) between Godshall Road and East Broad Street/West Broad Street in
Franconia Township and Souderton Borough, for paving; and
• Tuesday, September 5, through Friday, September 29, from 7:00 PM to 5:00
AM,
weeknight lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 63 (Welsh Road/Moreland
Road) between Kimball Avenue and Edge Hill Road in Abington and Upper
Moreland
townships, for milling, paving and utility adjustments.

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.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Route 113 (Third Avenue/Rahns Road) between Boro Line Road and Route 29
(Gravel Pike) in Trappe Borough and Perkiomen Township; and
• Sandy Hill Road from Fairfield Road to just east of Rolling Hill Drive in

Plymouth Township.

State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:

• Broad Street between Route 63 (Main Street) and Route 309 (Bethlehem
Pike) in
Lansdale Borough and Hatfield Township;
• Troxel Road/Orvilla Road between Sumneytown Pike and Route 63 (Welsh
Road) in
Towamencin Township; and
• Miller Road/Swamp Creek Road between Whites Mill Road/Swamp Creek Road
and
Upper Ridge Road in Marlborough Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway
surface
and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will
seal
the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in late October.

project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act 89,
