TOWAMENCIN TOWNSHIP, PA — Reconstruction of a slip ramp in Towamencin Township will lead to closures adjacent to one of the area's main arteries, increasing traffic through the late summer.

The ramp at Sumneytown Pike and Old Forty Foot Road will be closed starting on Monday, July 31.

Work is expected to take about two months.

Crews will be modifying and rebuilding the ramp as part the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation's larger Route 63 to Route 309 Connector Project.

"The planned traffic detour will keep traffic moving beyond the slip ramp, up to the main PA Turnpike intersection with two left-turn lanes into the interchange," officials said in a statement. "The detour will resemble the eastbound traffic circulation approaching the interchange prior to the opening of the slip ramp."
