MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that traffic signal construction will continue next week on Bethlehem Pike in Springfield and Whitemarsh townships, Montgomery County. This work is part of a safety improvement project.
From Tuesday, May 28, through Friday, May 31, lane closures will be in place in both directions on Bethlehem Pike at the Montgomery Avenue intersection from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Motorists should plan for extra travel time as backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this contract, PennDOT’s contractor will convert a section of Bethlehem Pike from an undivided four-lane road to a three-lane road with a two-way left turn lane. The improvements include modifying left-turn signal phasing, coordinating arterial signals, installing pedestrian countdown timers, adding retroreflective backplates for better signal visibility, and milling and overlaying pavement along the corridor.
The intersections involved in this safety project include Flourtown Shopping Center Driveway, Mill Road, College Avenue, Bysher Avenue, Wissahickon Avenue, Haws Lane, Montgomery Avenue, Sunnybrook Road, and Hillcrest Avenue.
Highway Materials, Inc. of Flourtown, Pennsylvania, is the general contractor for this federally funded project. Construction is expected to finish this fall.
