Stormwater Improvements Planned In Middletown Twp.

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —Stormwater improvements are planned this week in the township, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that stormwater improvements are planned on several state highways in Bucks and Chester counties 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 travel restrictions:

• Monday, July 15, through Friday, July 19, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a lane closure is scheduled on Route 213 (Maple Avenue/Old Lincoln Highway) between Wheeler Way and Woodbourne Road in Middletown Township.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near 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.
