SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced an extensive $14.9 million project that will impact several state highways in Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties next week. The project is part of a broader initiative to improve stormwater management and facilities on more than 90 state highways across the five-county Philadelphia region.
In Bucks County, a lane closure is scheduled on Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) between Swartley Road and Orvilla Road in Hatfield Township, Montgomery County, and Hilltown Township, Bucks County for stormwater replacement. The closure will be effective weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday, December 4, through Friday, December 22.
Chester County will see two significant closures. A lane closure is scheduled on Strasburg Road between Buck Run Road and Hephzilbah Hill Road in East Fallowfield Township for paving. This closure will be effective from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday, December 4, through Friday, December 8. Additionally, a lane closure is scheduled on Route 29 (Morehall Road) between Atwater Drive and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in East Whiteland Township for stormwater replacement. This closure will take place weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday, December 4, through Friday, December 22.
In Montgomery County, a lane closure is scheduled on Susquehanna Road between Colonial Avenue and Easton Road in Abington Township for paving. This closure will be active from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday, December 4, through Friday, December 8.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time when traveling through these work areas due to expected backups and delays. All schedules are weather-dependent.
Highway Materials, Inc of Flourtown, Montgomery County, is the general contractor for this project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds. PennDOT appreciates drivers’ patience during this time as they work to improve the region’s infrastructure.
