Tree Work To Cause Delays In Lower Providence

LOWER PROVIDENCE, PA — Tree removal work will continue on a main thoroughfare in Lower Providence Township through the end of the week, leading to a lane closure and delays in the area.

The work will take place on Park Avenue between Orchard Lane and Jode Road. That stretch will be reduced to a single lane from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday, Sept. 29.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation calls the work a "safety improvement project." Wooded areas with loose or dead trees often have vulnerabilities exposed during wind and rain storms, when they're blown down and damage nearby electrical wires.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time to travel in the area.
