Lane Closures Coming On U.S. 422 In Limerick, Lower Pottsgrove

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, PA — Pavement and structure repair will close lanes along U.S. 422 in Limerick, Lower Pottsgrove townships starting next week.

U.S. 422 motorists will encounter a lane closure in both directions next week for various construction activities under a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair seven structures along a five-mile section of U.S. 422 between the Royersford/Trappe and Sanatoga interchanges in Limerick and Lower Pottsgrove townships, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule and locations are:

• Monday, March 15, through Friday, March 19, from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., a left or right lane closure is scheduled on westbound U.S. 422 between Country Club Road and Evergreen Road; and
• Monday, March 15, through Friday, March 19, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., a left or right lane closure is scheduled on eastbound U.S. 422 between Park Road and Township Line Road and at the Limerick and Sanatoga interchanges.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur, PennDOT said.

Under this two-year improvement project, PennDOT’s contractor will mill, overlay, and rehabilitate existing U.S. 422 pavement; perform bridge deck repairs, concrete and joint patching, sealing, and drainage improvements; install new guide rail and rumble strips; and repair or replace damaged traffic signs along the corridor.

H & K Group Inc. of Skippack, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $19.1 million project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. The entire project is expected to be completed in late 2021. For information, visit www.422improvements.com.
