U.S. 422 Lane Closures and Stoppages Scheduled Next Week for Bridge
Demolition in Valley Forge Area

9/28/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane closures with traffic stoppages are scheduled next on eastbound and
westbound U.S. 422 between U.S. 202 and Route 363 (Trooper Road) for bridge

demolition as part of a major 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.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, October 2, through Friday, October 6, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM,
lane
closures with periodic 15-minute traffic stoppages are scheduled on
eastbound
U.S. 422 between Route 363 (Trooper Road) and U.S. 202; and
• Monday, October 2, through Friday, October 6, from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM,
lane
closures with periodic 15-minute traffic stoppages are scheduled on
westbound
U.S. 422 between U.S. 202 and Route 363 (Trooper Road).

In addition to the lane closures on mainline U.S. 422 next week, the ramp
from
First Avenue to eastbound U.S. 422 is scheduled to close beginning at 6:30
AM
Monday, October 2, through 5:00 PM Monday, October 9, for pavement repair.

During the closure, First Avenue motorists will be directed to use Gulph
Road
and Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) to access eastbound U.S. 422.

Drivers should allow additional time for travel near the construction zones

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.
