422
structures over the Schuylkill River; new U.S. 422 structures over Norfolk
Southern railroad tracks; rebuilding U.S. 422 from the Schuylkill River
bridge
to the Porter Road overpass; installing new median barriers; replacing the
Armand Hammer Boulevard bridge over U.S. 422; improving and realigning
ramps at

realigning
the ramp from Route 724 to U.S. 422 east; improving storm water drainage;
erecting three overhead sign structures; installing conduit for future
Intelligent Transportation equipment; and installing new guide rail and

Weather permitting, the work schedule is:

• On Tuesday, September 6, through September 9, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
lane
restrictions are scheduled on Meyers Road between Seitz Road and Mill Road
in
Perkiomen Township; and

lane
restrictions are scheduled on Route 73 (Skippack Pike) between Squirrel

This preliminary work is part of PennDOT's $11 million project to improve
travel and safety at the intersections of Plank Road/Route 29 (Gravel
Pike)/Otts Road and Meyers Road/Seitz Road/Township Line Road in Skippack,
Perkiomen and Limerick townships, Montgomery County.

The improvements include widening the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack
Pike)
and Plank Road to include left turn lanes on both roads; relocating Otts
Road
to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg
intersection; adding left turn lanes on Route 29 (Gravel Pike) at Plank

29
(Gravel Pike); realigning Meyers Road to intersect with Township Line Road;

traffic signals along the project corridor; and improving the roadway
alignment
in three locations.

During construction, detours will be in place at times for closures of
Plank
Road, Otts Road and Seitz Road. One directional closure will occur on Route
29
(Gravel Pike). The project's traffic control plan was developed in concert
with
the Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge project because Plank Road and Route 29

(Gravel Pike) are part of the Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge detour. Route
73
(Skippack Pike) bridge construction began on April 25, 2016, and will
finish in
