Pennsylvania Avenue Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Traffic Signal Installations in Montgomery County
King of Prussia, PA – Single lane closures are scheduled on Pennsylvania Avenue between Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) and Bethlehem Pike in Upper Dublin and Whitemarsh townships, Montgomery County, on Monday July 2, Tuesday, July 3, and Thursday July 5 from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for traffic signal installations, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area because slowdowns will occur. The contractor's schedule is weather dependent.

The scope of work on this project includes the installation of fiber optic cables, and upgrading traffic signals at varying intersections.
