The work schedule and locations:

• Monday, March 7, from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the following morning, alternating single lane closures will be in place on eastbound Route 422 between Route 202 and First Ave. interchanges;

Road closure and detour

Starting March 8, Thomas Road will be closed at the turnpike bridge. Traffic will be detoured around the underpass via Gulph, Glenhardie and Walker roads for the start of a new overpass.

The $117.9M turnpike project calls for widening a 2-mile stretch from the Valley Forge Interchange at Route 422 and the Valley Forge OverPass in Tredyffrin Township. The project is scheduled to be complete in 2025.

Motorists should use caution and be prepared for slow or stopped traffic approaching these

areas. All work is weather permitting.

This work is part of a $117.9M Pennsylvania project to widen and improve the turnpike and its bridges between milepost 324 and milepost 326. More information is available at www.patpconstruction.com/mp324to326/home.aspx.
