Chester and Montgomery Counties

3/22/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane closures are scheduled next week on Rock Raymond Road in East
Brandywine
Township, Chester County, and Rock Hill Road in Lower Merion Township,
Montgomery County for high-friction resurfacing operations, the
Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, March 26, through Friday, March 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane

closures are scheduled on Rock Raymond Road between Dowlin Forge Road and
Hilltop Drive; and

• Monday, March 26, through Friday, March 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane

closures are scheduled on Rock Hill Road between Belmont Avenue and Route
23
(Conshohocken State Road).

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
areas.
All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The work is part of a $4.8 million resurfacing project to improve travel
and
safety on 25 state highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and
Philadelphia counties, by installing a high-friction surface treatment to
provide increased friction and grip on pavements in wet and dry conditions.

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