King of Prussia, PA – Single lane closures are scheduled in both directions on Route 63 (Welsh Road/Main Street) between Wales Road and Squirrel Lane/Oak Boulevard in Hatfield, Towamencin, and Upper Gwynedd townships, and Lansdale Borough, Montgomery County, beginning Monday, July 16, through Friday, July 20, 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.
