Route 29 (Gravel Pike) Lane Restrictions Next Week for Intersection Improvement Project in Montgomery County

King of Prussia, PA – Route 29 (Gravel Pike) will be reduced to a single lane with flagging between Miller Road and Harrison Road on Monday, June 25, through Friday, June 29, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Thursday, June 28, and Friday, June 29, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, for work on a part of a project to improve travel and safety at the intersections of Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank Road/Otts Road; Route 73 (Skippack Pike) at Plank Road; and Meyers Road, Seitz Road and Township Line Road in Skippack, Perkiomen and Limerick townships, Montgomery County, 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.

Beginning Monday, July 16, through the end of November, Route 29 (Gravel Pike) will be closed between Miller Road and Plank Road for various construction activities. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Haldeman Road, Route 73 (Skippack Pike) and Plank Road. Local access will be maintained during the closure.

Improvements under this $11.3 million project 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 project that is financed with 100 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to finish in spring 2019.
