King of Prussia - Travelers on the Route 611 and Route 202 bypasses in Doylestown Township, Bucks County will encounter nighttime lane closures this weekend and next week, and area motorists will experience periodic travel restrictions on several other roads for ongoing Route 202 Parkway construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.
Intermittent lane closures will be in place on the Route 611 and Route 202 bypasses from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning for the removal of old overhead signs and placement of new signs. The contractor’s schedule is:
• Friday and Saturday (Dec. 9-10), lane closures will be in place on the southbound Route 202 Bypass between Route 313 (Swamp Road) and Main Street, and on the northbound and southbound Route 611 Bypass between Edison-Furlong Road and Main Street; and
• Monday through Friday (Dec. 12-16), lane closures will occur on the northbound and southbound Route 202 Bypass between Route 611 and Main Street, and on the northbound and southbound Route 611 Bypass between Main Street and State Street.
In Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships Montgomery County, Route 63 (Welsh Road) drivers will encounter slow-moving traffic and occasional single-lane conditions with flaggers between Stump Road and North Wales Road Monday through Friday (Dec. 12-16) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. PennDOT expects to move two lanes of Route 63 traffic onto the newly built section of the widened roadway by Dec. 16.
Periodic lane closures also will be in place on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Swedesford Road and Route 63 (Welsh Road) for utility and road widening activities Monday through Friday (Dec. 12-16) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Drivers should anticipate delays and add extra time for travel through the construction areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.
PennDOT is investing more than $200 million in state funds to build the nine-mile long Route 202 Parkway in Bucks and Montgomery counties and to improve roads approaching the Parkway’s entrances.
