MONTGOMERY TWP, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced the continuation of utility work at the Five-Points Intersection in Montgomery Township, as part of a comprehensive $14.2 million project aimed at enhancing travel efficiency and safety. This initiative focuses on the intersection of Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike), Route 463 (Horsham Road/Cowpath Road), and Business U.S. 202 (Doylestown Road) in Montgomery County.
Motorists should anticipate alternating lane closures and temporary traffic patterns from Monday through Friday, between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, to accommodate the ongoing work. Specific areas affected include Route 309, stretching from North Wales Road to McLaughlin Road; Route 463, between Lansdale Avenue and North Wales Road; and Business U.S. 202, spanning from Route 309 to Betty’s Avenue. During these periods, drivers are urged to allow for additional travel time due to expected delays and traffic backups.
The utility work is a preliminary phase of a larger project designed to improve the intersection’s overall functionality. By addressing key infrastructure elements, PennDOT aims to ensure smoother traffic flow and increased safety for the thousands of vehicles that traverse these roads daily. The schedules for these activities are dependent on favorable weather conditions, underlining the importance of staying informed about possible adjustments.
Residents and commuters are encouraged to frequently check the MyChesCo Traffic Center for updates on traffic conditions and construction progress. Staying informed will aid in planning travel routes effectively, minimizing disruptions while contributing to the long-term safety improvements envisioned for the region’s transport network.
