Restrictions Postponed For U.S. 422 At Sanatoga Interchange

This story was updated April 19.

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, PA — PennDOT today withdrew its notice that westbound U.S. 422 approaching the Sanatoga Interchange in Limerick Township would be closed for ramp construction. The announcement said the construction has been postponed and a new travel advisory will be issued when the work is rescheduled.

"We apologize for any inconvenience," PennDOT said Monday.

Below is the original news about this closure, no long in effect:

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, PA – Westbound U.S. 422 motorists will encounter a daytime and nighttime lane closure approaching the Sanatoga Interchange in Limerick Township on April 22, 26, and 28, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said the lane closures are necessary for pavement repair, line striping, and temporary barrier placement operations.

The work schedule is:

• Thursday, April 22, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Monday, April 26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
• Wednesday, April 28, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

If any of these operations are postponed due to rain, the work will take place the following day during the same time period, PennDOT said.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather-dependent.

The work is part of a Limerick Township project to construct a new ramp from Evergreen Road to westbound U.S. 422. During construction, a westbound traffic shift will be in place for approximately five months while crews work from behind a temporary barrier. Two lanes of westbound U.S. 422 traffic will be maintained at all times during ramp construction.

Limerick Township will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
