U.S. 422 West to Close Thursday Night for Barrier Installation in Pottstown Area
King of Prussia, PA – Westbound U.S. 422 will be closed and detoured from Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) to the split with Benjamin Franklin Highway on Thursday, February 28, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for barrier installation on a project to improve and reconstruct 1.2 miles of U.S. 422 from just east of the Schuylkill River bridge to just west of the Montgomery County line in North Coventry Township, Chester County, West Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, and Douglass Township, Berks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Crews will be working to adjust barrier to shift westbound U.S. 422 traffic onto the newly built section of the expressway.
During the overnight closure, U.S. 422 motorists will be directed to take Route 100 North (Pottstown Pike) and High Street/Benjamin Franklin Highway to access westbound U.S. 422.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups will occur. In the event of weather, this operation will be postponed until the following night if needed.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT is reconstructing U.S. 422 on both existing and new alignments; reconfiguring the U.S. 422/Stowe Interchange to a diamond configuration; removing and replacing the existing ramps and culverts; installing new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment, message boards, cameras, signing, pavement markings, lighting, concrete median barriers, median glare screens and guide rail; upgrading stormwater management facilities and pipes; and constructing and restoring wetlands.
