Pothole Repair Planned On Route 422, 202 This Week

PHOENIXVILLE, PA — As winter sluggishly moves into spring across the Delaware Valleys, once frozen roads are breaking open and causing pothole nightmares for drivers.

While some of these holes seem minor, they can cause significant tire damage and accidents from drivers who swerve to avoid them.

PennDOT crews will be addressing the issue along the Route 422 corridor this week, repairing the highway in Upper Providence, Limerick, Lower Providence, and Lower Pottsgrove.

They'll also fix up the adjacent U.S. 202, with work done on roads in Tredyffrin, West Thornbury, Thornbury, East Whiteland, West Whiteland, and Birmingham.

Drivers are advised to be alert of the work and to plan for intermittent lane closures and possible slowdowns when driving near work crews.

Potholes are a growing and ongoing problem. PennDOT says they've used more than 1,250 tons of asphalt to repair holes since Jan. 1.
