Route 29 Among Several State Highways Restricted Next Week for Construction in Montgomery County
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that periodic lane restrictions are scheduled on Monday, May 13, through Friday, May 17, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) and four adjacent state highways for line striping and other construction activities on a project to improve travel and safety at the intersections at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) and Plank Road/Otts Road; Route 73 (Skippack Pike) and Plank Road; and the intersection at Meyers Road, Seitz Road and Township Line Road in Skippack, Perkiomen and Limerick townships, Montgomery County.
The work locations are:
- Route 29 (Gravel Pike) between Miller Road and Harrison Avenue;
- Plank Road between Route 29 (Gravel Pike) and Route 73 (Skippack Pike);
- Otts Road between Miller Road and Route 29 (Gravel Pike);
- Seitz Road between Township Line Road and Fox Heath Boulevard; and
- Meyers Road between Seitz Road and Miller Road.
During these periodic lane closures, all traffic will be controlled by flagging. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the construction areas because slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Improvements under this project include widening the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack Pike) and Plank Road to include left turn lanes on both roads; relocating Otts Road to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg intersection; adding left turn lanes on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank Road/Otts Road; adding left turn lanes on Plank Road and Otts Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike); realigning Meyers Road to intersect with Township Line Road; realigning Seitz Road to form a T-intersection with Meyers Road; installing new traffic signals along the project corridor; and improving the roadway alignment in three locations.
H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $11,186,998 project which is financed with 100 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to finish later this month.
