Township Line Road Work Affecting Traffic Thursday, Friday

HAVERFORD, PA – Township Line Road traffic will be affected by work related to a travel and safety improvement project in Haverford and Upper Darby townships starting Thursday, July 6.

According to PennDOT, the road will see lane restrictions between State and Harding roads for road milling.

The restrictions will be in place from 7 p.m. Thursday, July 6 to 5 a.m. Friday, July 7, and again from 7 p.m. Friday, July 7 to 5 a.m. Saturday, July 8.

The project – which entails reconfiguring lanes, resurfacing roads, installing radar speed signs, and more on a 3.4 mile stretch of the road – is expected to by complete by August.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled work is weather dependent.
