Route 29 (Gravel Pike) Lane Restrictions Next Week for Utility Improvements
in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County

12/7/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on Route 29 (Gravel Pike)
between
Miller Road and Harrison Avenue in Perkiomen Township, Montgomery County,
on
Monday, December 11, through Friday, December 15, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
for
utility relocation, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)

announced today.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the
construction area because slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities
are
weather dependent.

On Tuesday, December 5, Plank Road was reopened between Route 29 (Gravel
Pike)
and Route 73 (Skippack Pike) until work can resume in the spring. Plank
Road
had been closed since early May for excavation, grading and paving
operations.

Lane restrictions will also be postponed through winter on Meyers Road
between
Seitz Road and Miller Road.

Otts Road will remain closed and detoured between Miller Road and Route 29
(Gravel Pike) through May 2019. Otts Road motorists are being directed to
use
Route 29 (Gravel Pike), Bridge Street, Wartman Road, Township Line Road,
Seitz
Road and Meyers Road.

The work is part of PennDOT's project to improve travel and safety at the
intersection of Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank Road/Otts Road; the
intersection of Route 73 (Skippack Pike) at Plank Road; and the Meyers
Road,
Seitz Road and Township Line Road intersection in Skippack, Perkiomen and
Limerick townships.

The improvements include widening the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack
Pike)
and Plank Road to include left turn lanes on both roads; relocating Otts
Road
to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg
intersection; adding left turn lanes on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank
Road/Otts Road; adding left turn lanes on Plank Road and Otts Road at Route
29
(Gravel Pike); realigning Meyers Road to intersect with Township Line Road;

realigning Seitz Road to form a T-intersection with Meyers Road; installing
new
traffic signals along the project corridor; and improving the roadway
alignment
in three locations.

H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on
the $11,292,416 contract that financed with 100 percent state funds. The
project is expected to finish in spring 2019.
