Roadway Construction, Traffic Shift Next Week on Route 309 (Sellersville Bypass) in West Rockhill Township
King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway construction will continue next week on Route 309 (Sellersville Bypass) in West Rockhill Township, Bucks County under a project to rehabilitate the pavement and repair several structures on a 9.1-mile section of the expressway.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, December 19, through Wednesday, December 21, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane closures are scheduled on northbound and southbound Route 309 (Sellersville Bypass) between Route 563 (Ridge Road) and Rich Hill Road for barrier relocation and pavement marking installation.
Once the operations are completed, PennDOT's contractor will shift northbound and southbound Route 309 (Sellersville Bypass) traffic to the outer lanes to begin work on the left lanes.
Periodic weekday lane closures will also remain in place through early 2023 on northbound and/or southbound Route 309 (Sellersville Bypass) from Route 152 (State Road) to just north of Reliance Road for the rehabilitation of two bridges.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will reconstruct and rehabilitate the Route 309 corridor (Sellersville Bypass) from Unionville Pike in Hatfield Township, Montgomery County, to just north of Rich Hill Road in Richland Township, Bucks County. The improvement plan includes the following:
- Milling and overlay;
- Reconstructing shoulders;
- Installing new guide rail and median barrier;
- Replacing two bridge superstructures;
- Rehabilitating eight Route 309 bridges, four overhead bridges and four culverts;
- Repairing concrete ditches;
- Installing drainage improvements, new pavement markings and signs; and
- Integrating Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $54.6 million project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is scheduled to finish in summer 2024.
