Monday, May 16, 2011

King of Prussia – Daytime lane closures are scheduled next week (May 16-20) along the Route 202 Corridor in Bucks and Montgomery counties for roadway and utility construction related to the building of the Route 202 Parkway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.

Drivers in Warrington and New Britain townships, Bucks County, may encounter periodic lane closures Monday through Friday (May 16-20) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for road widening on:

• Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Avenue);

• Upper State Road between County Line and Pickertown roads: and

• County Line Road between Route 202 (Butler Avenue) and Woodland Drive.

Motorists on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) in Montgomery County may encounter lane closures Monday through Friday (May 16-20) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) for widening.

Travel restrictions also may occur for utility relocation construction on Monday through Friday (May 16-20) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Sumneytown Pike and Route 63 (Welsh Road) and on Route 63 (Welsh Road) between Stump Road and Bell Run Boulevard, located east of North Wales Road.

Wells Road in Doylestown Township remains detoured for Parkway construction between Lower State and Turk roads, and Detweiler Road is closed permanently between Stump and Upper State roads in Warrington Township.

In addition, Lower State Road is closed to northbound traffic and detoured between Bristol and Almshouse roads in Doylestown Township – unrelated to the Parkway project – for reconstruction of a bridge over the Neshaminy Creek.

Drivers should anticipate delays at each work zone and they are advised to 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.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.
