LIMERICK, PA — A major $6.2 million investment by PennDOT on Route 422 for "pavement preservation" will get underway later this month.
The work will resurface and repair some 4.4 miles of the roadway in Limerick and Upper Providence.
The upcoming work will begin on Sunday, July 19 and continued through Thursday, July 23.
The heavily used corridor frequently faces issues with potholes and related hazardous road conditions, in addition to traffic and speeding.
The work will run from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. each day, with one lane closed on westbound 422 between Troutman Road and Royersford Road.
"(The) contractor will perform pavement preservation work on U.S. 422 including milling, application of a bituminous overlay, reapplying pavement markings, reinstalling edge-line rumble strips," PennDOT shared in a statement. "Base repair work will also be performed as needed."
Backups and delays will occur and drivers should plan for additional travel time.
The project is fully financed with state funds.
