​King of Prussia, PA – Overnight lane restrictions are scheduled next week on westbound U.S. 422 as part of a project to repair and resurface 50 miles of state highway in Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
