MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Travelers through Montgomery County should brace for disruptions starting next week, as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) rolls out a utility construction project on Blair Mill Road, affecting areas within Horsham and Upper Moreland townships. This work is part of a broader safety improvement initiative aimed at enhancing local infrastructure.
From Tuesday, May 7, through Thursday, May 23, road users will encounter a lane closure with flagging operations on Blair Mill Road, stretching between Route 611 (Easton Road) and Route 63 (Welsh Road). These restrictions are slated to take place on weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a period when many are navigating their daily commutes.
PennDOT has issued a caution to motorists, urging them to factor in additional travel time due to the anticipated backups and delays that the construction work is likely to generate. The advisory serves as a nod to the potential impact on traffic flow and the importance of planning ahead to mitigate inconveniences.
However, drivers navigating this stretch of Blair Mill Road during the specified times should remain alert to changing traffic patterns and be prepared for possible slowdowns. Completion of the work is contingent on favorable weather conditions, and adjustments to the schedule may occur based on the environment.
As this project unfolds, patience and adherence to traffic control measures will be crucial for ensuring the safety of both workers on site and the commuting public.
