Eastbound U.S. 422 will have a lane closure between Royersford Road and Troutman Road from 7:00 PM until 5:00 AM the following morning.

With restrictions affecting both directions of the highway during overlapping overnight hours, drivers should expect backups and delays through the work zone. Plan extra time or seek an alternate route when practical.

The work is part of a $6.2 million PennDOT project to resurface and repair 4.4 miles of U.S. 422 in Limerick and Upper Providence townships.

Crews are milling the roadway and applying a new bituminous overlay. The project also includes pavement markings, edge-line rumble strips and base repairs where needed.

Allan Myers Inc. of Worcester is the general contractor for the project, which is financed entirely with state funds.

The construction schedule is weather dependent and may be postponed or rescheduled.
