CHELTENHAM TOWNSHIP, PA —PECO has two utility improvements planned in the township, one lasting until the end of the month and another lasting into November.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that PECO Energy will perform utility construction on several state highways in Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, May 6, through Wednesday, November 6, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a weekday lane closure is scheduled on Cedar Road at the intersection with Marvin Road in Cheltenham Township.
• Monday, May 20, through Friday, July 19, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, a weekday closure is scheduled on Route 309 (Cheltenham Avenue) at the intersection with Route 611 (Old York Road) in Cheltenham Township. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Route 611 (Old York Road), Church Road, and Washington Lane. Local access will be maintained up to the work zone.

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