SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVNIA — Construction activities are slated to begin next week on various state highways in Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties, as part of a $14.9 million project led by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The initiative aims to enhance stormwater management and facilities on more than 90 state highways across the five-county Philadelphia region.
Starting Monday, November 20, motorists should be prepared for travel restrictions due to construction work. 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. The closure is set to occur from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Monday, November 20, and Tuesday, November 21, and from 9:00 AM to noon on Wednesday, November 22, for stormwater replacement work.
In Chester County, lane closures are planned on Strasburg Road between Buck Run Road and Hephzilbah Hill Road in East Fallowfield Township, and on Route 29 (Morehall Road) between Atwater Drive and the Pennsylvania Turnpike in East Whiteland Township. Both closures will take place from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Monday, November 20, and Tuesday, November 21, and from 9:00 AM to noon on Wednesday, November 22, for milling, paving, and stormwater replacement work.
Meanwhile, in Montgomery County, a lane closure is scheduled on Susquehanna Road between Colonial Avenue and Easton Road in Abington Township from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on Monday, November 20, and Tuesday, November 21, and from 9:00 AM to noon on Wednesday, November 22, for stormwater replacement.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work areas due to expected backups and delays. All scheduled activities are dependent on the weather.
