Skippack Pike Will Be Closed for Railroad Crossing Repairs

From Whitpain Township Police:

Skippack Pike will be closed between North Wales Rd. and Route 202 in Whitpain Township for approximately one week beginning Oct. 15.

The closure will allow CSX to accomplish much needed upgrades to the railroad crossing, which will enhance safety for motorists on Skippack Pike.

Residents and businesses will continue to have full access to their properties, but Skippack Pike will be completely closed at the railroad crossing.

Advance notice signs have been places on Skippack Pike to alert motorists to the planned closure. Motorists should expect delays and allow extra travel time. Detour routes will be posted in the area when construction begins. Morris Rd. and Township Line Rd. (south) can be used as alternative routes.

The repairs will be completed within one week, but weather conditions may delay the construction schedule. CSX also plans to repair the railroad crossing on Township Line Rd. 9south) during the week of Nov. 19. These repairs will force the closure of Township Line Rd. (south).
