Stowe Interchange Ramp to U.S. 422 East to Close Two Overnights This Week
for Pipe Installation

3/26/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The ramp from Grosstown Road at the Stowe Interchange to eastbound U.S. 422

will be closed on Wednesday, March 28, and Thursday, March 29, from 9:00 PM
to
5:00 AM the following morning, for pipe installation as part of a major
improvement project to reconstruct 1.2 miles of U.S. 422 from just east of
the
Schuylkill River bridge to just west of the Montgomery County line in North

Coventry Township, Chester County, West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery
County,
and Douglass Township, Berks County, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

During the overnight closure, motorists will be directed to use High Street
to
access eastbound U.S. 422.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area
because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather

dependent.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is reconstructing U.S. 422 on both
existing and new alignments; reconfiguring the U.S. 422/Stowe Interchange
to a
diamond configuration; removing and replacing the existing ramps and
culverts;
installing new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment, message
boards, signing, pavement markings, lighting, concrete median barriers,
median
glare screens and guide rail; upgrading stormwater management facilities
and
pipes; and constructing and restoring wetlands.

H & K Group, Inc. of Schwenksville, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on the $35,581,408 improvement project which is financed with
100
percent state funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan. The
entire
project is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.
