SKIPPACK TWP, PA — Drivers traveling on Route 73 (Skippack Pike) should expect delays next week as PennDOT continues bridge construction over Skippack Creek in Montgomery County.
At a Glance:
- Roads Affected: Route 73 (Skippack Pike)
- Dates: Monday, March 23, through Friday, March 27
- Times: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Reason: Bridge replacement construction
PennDOT said periodic lane closures with flagging will occur between Old Forty Foot Road (Evansburg Road) and Kerr Road during daytime hours. Traffic will be reduced to a single lane at times, with flaggers directing vehicles through the work zone.
No detour is planned, but drivers should expect intermittent stoppages and backups through the corridor. Plan extra time and consider alternate routes to avoid delays, especially during midday travel.
The work is part of a $7 million project to replace a 90-year-old bridge with a modern structure designed to improve safety and traffic flow.
Motorists are urged to slow down, stay alert, and follow flagging personnel while traveling through the construction area.
