U.S. 422 West, Route 23 Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Valley Forge Area
King of Prussia, PA – Westbound U.S. 422 motorists will encounter a left lane closure and intermittent traffic stoppages between the U.S. 202 and Route 363 (Trooper Road) interchanges from 9:00 PM Friday, August 3, to 9:00 AM Saturday, August 4, for barrier installation as part of a project to build new, wider bridges to improve travel and carry U.S. 422 motorists over the Schuylkill River, Norfolk Southern Railroad, South Trooper Road and Schuylkill River Trail in West Norriton, Upper Merion and Lower Providence townships, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
In addition, eastbound Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) will be reduced to a single lane with periodic traffic stoppages between Moore Road and Gulph Road on Tuesday, July 31, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for barrier adjustment.
Drivers should allow additional time for travel in the construction zones because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The scope of work on this project includes improving U.S. 422 between the Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and Route 363 (Trooper Road) interchanges; upgrading Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) at its interchange with U.S. 422; and improving ramps at the Route 363 (Trooper Road), Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and First Avenue interchanges.
Construction on this improvement project began in February 2016 and is scheduled to finish in May 2020.
J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $97.4 million project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
