Route 113 (Harleysville Pike) Weekday Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Lower Salford Township
King of Prussia, PA – Weekday lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on Route 113 (Harleysville Pike) between Sharon Lane and Old Morris Road in Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, on Monday, April 15, through Friday, May 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for tree trimming and traffic signal installations under a project to replace three poor condition bridges carrying Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike) over Unami Creek, Ridge Valley Creek and the East Branch of Perkiomen Creek in Upper Salford, Lower Salford and Marlborough townships, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
In addition to the lane restrictions, beginning Wednesday, April 24, Old Skippack Road will be converted to a one-way condition for 250 feet from the intersection with Salfordville Road, allowing only northbound traffic onto Old Skippack Road from the intersection at Route 113 (Harleysville Pike). Beyond the 250 feet, Old Skippack Road will be maintained as a two-way road. Old Skippack Road motorists traveling southbound will be permanently directed to use Landis Road or Groffs Mill Road and Salfordville Road to access Route 113 (Harleysville Pike).
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent and subject to change.
Under this improvement project, Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike) is expected to be closed and detoured in May through November 2019 for the construction of new bridges over Unami Creek and Ridge Valley Creek. Work is planned on both bridges simultaneously to minimize traffic impacts.
The Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike) bridge over the East Branch of the Perkiomen Creek will remain open during construction as the bridge will be built in stages using half-width construction. This work is expected to begin this spring and finish in spring 2020.
H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, PA is the general contractor on the $9,565,527 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to be completed in spring of 2021.
