U.S. 422 East Lane Closure Next Saturday for Construction in Valley Forge Area

King of Prussia, PA – Eastbound U.S. 422 motorists will encounter a right lane closure  between the Oaks and Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) interchanges on Saturday, March 9, from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, for beam installation on 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.

Drivers should allow additional time for travel in the construction zone because backups and delays will occur. The contractor's schedule is weather dependent and subject to change.

The scope of work on this $97.4 million 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.
