Daytime and nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 63 (Welsh
Road/Moreland Road) and Route 113 (3rd Avenue/Rahns Road) 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:

• Monday, September 18, through Friday, September 22, from 9:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 63 (Welsh Road/Moreland Road)
between
Fitzwatertown Road and Edge Hill Road in Abington and Upper Moreland
townships,
for construction activities related to resurfacing operations; and
• Monday, September 18, through Friday, October 13, from 7:00 PM to 5:00
AM,
weekday lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 113 (Third Avenue/Rahns
Road)
between Boro Line Road and Route 29 (Gravel Pike) in Trappe Borough and
Perkiomen Township, for milling and paving.

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 highway scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Sandy Hill Road from Fairfield Road to just east of Rolling Hill Drive in

Plymouth Township.

State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:

• Route 113 (Harleysville Pike/Main Street) between Godshall Road and East
Broad Street/West Broad Street in Franconia Township and Souderton Borough;
• 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.

Glasgow, Inc. of Glenside, PA is the general contractor on the $4,581,098
project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act 89,
Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.
