Lower Merion Police Conducting DUI Checkpoints This Weekend

Lower Merion police announced this week they will devote additional resources this weekend to checking drivers for sobriety.

Besides operating stationary checkpoints, police also will send roving patrols throughout the township, on the lookout for people driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

In recent weeks, drivers in Bala Cynwyd have been charged with DUI after traffic stops on City Avenue, Belmont Avenue and Levering Mill Road.

A statement from township officials indicated a grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation is funding the weekend push.

Anyone with questions about the DUI checkpoints can call the township police non-emergency line at 610-649-1000.
