Horsham Road 'No Longer Pothole Repair Job:' Officials

HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — With winter winding down, potholes can be found all over highways in the township and the Philadelphia region.

Township officials said Horsham Road is one of the worst.

"We are aware of the condition of the road and are frequently contacting PennDOT," township officials said. "It is becoming no longer a pothole repair job."

Horsham Road is owned and maintained — including pothole repairs and paving — by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

"The road itself, between Tournament Drive (Hatboro-Horsham High School) and Easton Road is starting to crumble away," officials said. " The passing lane (left lane), in both directions, is the worst."

Officials ask residents to be cautious and mindful while driving on Horsham Road, especially in the dark and on rainy days.

Officials said that PennDOT plans to mill and pave Horsham Road from Tournament Drive to Easton Road.

"They were hoping it would have been done last fall, but their contractor ran out of time before the temperatures dropped and winter weather," officials said, adding that they do not know exactly when PennDOT will be paving.

Horsham officials ask residents to call or email PennDOT at 1-800-349-7623 or https://customercare.penndot.pa.gov.
