MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has officially announced a comprehensive resurfacing project scheduled to take place in Montgomery County. This initiative is set to improve road conditions along a critical section of Kutztown Road, spanning from Route 663 (Layfield Road) to the Berks County line in Upper Hanover Township.
The project is slated to begin on Sunday, September 29, with an extensive work schedule that includes both daytime and nighttime operations. Specifically, lane closures will occur from 4:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning on Sunday, and from Monday, September 30, through Friday, October 4, during two phases: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and then from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM the next day. This schedule is designed to facilitate efficient milling and paving endeavors while attempting to minimize disruptions to daily commutes.
Motorists traveling through this area should expect lane closures, which could lead to traffic delays and congestion. PennDOT strongly advises drivers to plan additional travel time and to be prepared for potential backups as the work progresses. The department emphasizes that all planned activities are contingent upon favorable weather conditions, and adjustments to the schedule may occur in response to unforeseen weather impacts.
