• LANE RESTRICTIONS PLANNED FOR US 202 PARKWAY


Friday, June 08, 2012

King of Prussia – Motorists will encounter daytime lane restrictions next week (June 11-15) on County Line Road as crews move traffic onto the widened north side of the roadway approaching the Route 202 Parkway that is under construction in Bucks and Montgomery counties, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.

The new 8.4-mile, $200 million Parkway, scheduled to open this fall, will improve travel and ease congestion along the Route 202 Corridor between Montgomeryville and Doylestown.

Periodic lane closures and brief stoppages will be in place on County Line Road between Stump Road and Route 202 (Doylestown Road/Butler Avenue) in Montgomery and New Britain townships on Monday through Friday (June 11-15) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for the traffic pattern change.

Occasional lane closures also may occur on Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Avenue) in Warrington and New Britain townships on Monday through Friday (June 11-15) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for Parkway construction.

Motorists will encounter travel restrictions on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Swedesford Road and Route 63 (Welsh Road) and on Route 63 (Welsh Road) between Stump Road and North Wales Road in Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships on Monday through Friday (June 11-15) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. PennDOT is widening both roads to improve traffic flow at the southern end of the Parkway.

The installation of new traffic signal equipment will result in periodic lane closures Monday through Thursday (June 11-14) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at signalized intersections on:

• Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) between the Five Points intersection in Montgomeryville and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Lower Gwynedd Township; and

• Route 202 (Doylestown Road/Butler Avenue) between the Five Points intersection in Montgomeryville and Route 611 in New Britain and Doylestown townships.

Drivers should anticipate delays and add extra time for travel through the construction areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.
