Lane closures planned on 422

Lane closures are scheduled on eastbound Route 422 and Airport Road.

The closures are for pavement and joint repair and bridge construction under a project to rehabilitate and improve a five-mile section of Route 422 between the Royersford/Trappe and Sanatoga interchanges in Limerick and Lower Pottsgrove townships, PennDOT announced.

Weather permitting, the work schedule is:

• Monday, August 19, through Friday, August 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., the left lane and shoulder will close between Park Road and Township Line Road for pavement and joint repair and construction on the bridge that carries the expressway over Lewis Road; and

• Wednesday, August 21, through Saturday, August 24, from 6:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., lane restrictions with flagging will occur on Airport Road between Lightcap Road and Industrial Drive for construction on the bridge that carries the highway over Route 422.

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