Lanes Closing On Wynnewood Road Through Mid October In Lower Merion

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — Wynnewood Road lanes in Lower Merion are closing through mid-October for milling and paving work, PennDOT said.

According to PennDOT, the road will be milled and paved through Friday, Oct. 14.

The affected portion of road is between Lancaster Avenue/U.S. Route 30 and County Line Road.

Lanes will be closed from 9a.m. to 4 p.m.

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

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

This project is intended to provide traffic-calming measures designed to enhance safety and mobility throughout the corridor for both motorists and pedestrians.

Improvements under this project include the establishment of a "road diet" on Wynnewood Road that will reconfigure the existing four-lane cartway to one comprising one travel lane in each direction; construction of a center lane for left turns and dedicated left turn lanes at intersections; and construction of bicycle lanes.

Additional enhancements include applying a high friction surface treatment on Wynnewood Road along the curve approaching U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue); installing a new traffic signal at the Ballytore Road/Old Wynnewood Road intersection; upgrading traffic signal equipment and signing along the corridor; and performing traffic signal phasing modifications.

Marino Corporation of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $1.34 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

The entire project is expected to finish in spring 2023.
