Lane closures with traffic stoppages are scheduled next Thursday night,
October
9, on U.S. 422 between Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and Route 363 (Trooper
Road) for construction activities related to 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:

• Thursday, November 9, 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 Route 23 (Valley Forge Road); and
• Thursday, November 9, from 9:00 PM to 6:00 AM, lane closures with
periodic
15-minute traffic stoppages are scheduled on westbound U.S. 422 between
Route
23 (Valley Forge Road) and Route 363 (Trooper Road).

Drivers should allow additional time for travel in 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.

Construction on this improvement project began in February 2016 and is
scheduled to finish in May 2020.

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.
