5 Points Intersection To Shut Down Overnight In Montgomery Township

MONTGOMERY TOWNSHIP, PA — The Five Points Intersection will be shut down in Montgomery Township overnight next month for overhead sign construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced.

The closure will be in place from 11 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5 to 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 6.

The frenetic intersection bringing together Bethlehem Pike, Horsham Road (Cowpath Road), and Doylestown Road (U.S. 202) has been the focus of a $14.2 million construction improvement project, as officials work to reduce congestion and improve safety in the area.

• Southbound Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) will be detoured west on Broad Street, then east on Main Street/Welsh Road (Route 63) to Route 309
• Northbound Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike)) will be detoured north on the U.S. 202 Bypass, then north on County Line Road to Route 309
• Westbound Horsham Road (Route 463) will be detoured north on the U.S. 202 Bypass, then north on County Line Road to Business U.S. 202 (Doylestown Road)
• Eastbound Cowpath Road (Route 463) will be detoured west on Broad Street, then east on Main Street/Welsh Road (Route 63) to Route 309
• Southbound Business U.S. 202 (Doylestown Road) will be detoured east on County Line Road, then north on the U.S. 202 Bypass to Route 309
