Stormwater Improvements Begin In Middletown Twp.

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Stormwater improvements will occur for several days this week, causing a lane closure for drivers in the township, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said stormwater improvements are planned under a $14.9 million project to upgrade stormwater management facilities on more than 90 state highways across the five-county Philadelphia region.

Motorists are advised of the following lane restrictions:

• Monday, July 1, through Wednesday, July 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a lane closure is scheduled on Highland Avenue between Avenue F and Hulmeville Road in Middletown Township for paving.

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

The schedule is weather-dependent.

Highway Materials, Inc. of Flourtown, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
