Lane closures are scheduled on eastbound and westbound U.S. 422 between the

Oaks and U.S. 202 interchanges on Monday, August 7, through Thursday,
August
10, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, for construction related
to
a 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, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Drivers should allow additional time for travel on U.S. 422 near the
construction zone because backups will occur. The schedule is weather
dependent.

The scope of work on this 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.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$97.4 million project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20
percent
state funds.
