The work schedule and location is:  

• Wednesday, February 17, through Friday, February 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, a weekday lane closure with flagging is scheduled on Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) between Moorehall Drive and Country Club Road; and 
• Monday, March 1, through late November, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) is scheduled to close weekdays between Moorehall Drive and Country Club Road. During the closure, motorists will be detoured over Whitehorse Road and Valley Park Road.
