Wolf Administration Announces Completion of Intersection Improvement Project in Montgomery County
King of Prussia, PA – The Wolf Administration announced today that physical construction is complete 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 Meyers Road, Seitz Road and Township Line Road intersection in Skippack, Perkiomen and Limerick townships, Montgomery County.
"The new configuration, widening and design features incorporated into the reconstruction of these three intersections will reduce crashes and enhance safety for users of all transportation modes," Governor Wolf said.
Under this project, PennDOT's contractor widened the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack Pike) and Plank Road to include left turn lanes on both roads; relocated Otts Road to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg intersection; added left turn lanes on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank Road/Otts Road and on Plank Road and Otts Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike); realigned Meyers Road to intersect with Township Line Road and Seitz Road to form a T-intersection with Meyers Road; installed new traffic signals along the project corridor; and improved the roadway alignment in three locations.
The contractor will be performing minor construction activities through the end of the week which is not expected to impact traffic.
H & K Group, Inc., of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $11,177,514 project, financed with 100 percent state funds.
