Route 663 (John Fries Highway) Lane Closure Next Saturday for Slope Repair in Milford Township, Bucks County
King of Prussia, PA – Route 663 (John Fries Highway) motorists will encounter a lane closure with flagging at the Allentown Road Intersection in Milford Township, Bucks County on Saturday, October 23, from 2:00 AM to 5:00 PM, for slope repair under a project to restore the roadway to a safe condition, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Due to a flood in 2018, Route 663 (John Fries Highway) experienced shoulder and guiderail erosion, just north of Allentown Road and west of the Unami Creek bridge. Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will remove the temporary barrier that was installed to stabilize the washed-out embankment and reconstruct the existing shoulder subgrade and slope. Guiderail will also be re-installed along Route 663.
Blooming Glen Contractors, Inc. of Perkasie, Bucks County, is the general contractor on the $213,692 project, which is financed with 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
