PennDOT to Host Open House Meeting for Old Skippack Road Roundabout Project in Upper Salford Township
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will hold an open house public plans display on Wednesday, June 12, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM at 1441 Salford Station Road in Salford, to inform citizens about an upcoming project to construct a roundabout to improve travel and safety at the intersection of Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road in Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County. The meeting had been planned for Wednesday, May 29, but was rescheduled due to weather.
The purpose of the open house is to present the public with progress plans and a status update on the project. The meeting will be conducted as an open-house plans display where citizens will have the opportunity to circulate among the subject displays to gather information and discuss the different facets of the project with PennDOT's design team.
Under this project, PennDOT will construct a single-lane roundabout at the intersection of Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road; relocate existing utilities and install new drainage facilities.
The purpose of the project is to reduce angle crashes and vehicular speeds; increase sight distance for motorists; and alleviate congestion through the intersection.
Construction bids are expected to open in fall 2020. The project is anticipated to be funded with 100 percent federal dollars.
