Route 422 West lane closure set for construction

Westbound Route 422 will be reduced to a single lane for roadway patching and other construction activities under a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair seven structures along a five-mile section of Route 422 between the Royersford/Trappe and Sanatoga interchanges in Limerick and Lower Pottsgrove townships, PennDOT announced. The work schedule is:

• Sunday, July 12, from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday, July 13, a left lane closure will be in place on westbound Route 422 between Township Line Road and Lewis Road;

• Sunday, July 12, through Thursday, July 16, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 PM the following afternoon, a left lane closure will be in place on westbound U.S. 422 between Township Line Road and Evergreen Road; and

• Friday, July 17, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM Saturday, July 18, a left lane closure will be in place on westbound Route 422 between Township Line Road and Evergreen Road.

In addition, Troutman Road under Route 422 between Ashenfelter Road and Arcola Road in Upper Pottsgrove Township will be reduced to a single lane with flagging on Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM for bridge reconstruction.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

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, 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 summer 2021.
