LOWER POTTSGROVE TWP, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that construction will continue next week on U.S. 422 as part of an $83.6 million project. This initiative aims to reconstruct and improve approximately 2.1 miles of the expressway and replace bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County.
From Monday, August 26, through Thursday, August 29, intermittent single lane closures will be in place on westbound U.S. 422 between Evergreen Road and Armand Hammer Boulevard from 4:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Additionally, single lane closures will be in effect on eastbound U.S. 422 between Keim Street and Evergreen Road from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday, August 26, through Friday, August 29.
Motorists are advised to allocate extra travel time as significant delays and traffic backups are expected. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The Section M1B project will see U.S. 422 reconstructed on both existing and revised alignments to enhance horizontal curve radii, shoulder widths, and vertical clearance, thereby improving travel and safety. The project includes the removal and replacement of a culvert at Sprogels Run and a single-span bridge carrying U.S. 422 over Porter Road with a new two-span bridge. Additionally, the bridge carrying U.S. 422 over Sanatoga Road and Sanatoga Creek will be reconstructed and widened.
