CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Drivers traveling along Route 23 near Phoenixville should expect lane closures and delays beginning Wednesday as PennDOT starts a long-term project aimed at improving safety along a busy stretch of the corridor.
At A Glance
- Roads Affected: Route 23 (Schuylkill Road / Nutt Road / Valley Forge Road) at Township Line Road
- Dates: Wednesday, March 11 – Friday, November 20
- Times: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM – 3:00 AM (as needed)
- Reason: Safety improvements, milling, and paving
PennDOT said weekday periodic lane closures with flagging will be in place on Route 23 at Township Line Road in East Pikeland Township while crews mill and pave the intersection as part of a broader safety improvement project.
The work is part of a $2.5 million project covering roughly the Route 23 corridor between Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) and Whitehorse Road through East Pikeland and Schuylkill townships and Phoenixville Borough.
Improvements will include widening and restriping the eastbound approach on Route 23 to create a dedicated left-turn lane at Township Line Road. Crews will also remove median islands and reconfigure the nearby intersection of Route 23 (Nutt Road) and Route 113 (Bridge Street) within the existing roadway layout.
The project also includes upgrades at multiple signalized intersections along the corridor to improve traffic flow and safety.
Drivers traveling through the Phoenixville-area corridor should expect periodic delays when lane closures are active. Motorists are encouraged to plan extra travel time and consider alternate routes when possible.
H&K Group Inc. of Skippack is the general contractor on the federally funded project. PennDOT expects construction to continue through fall 2026.
