KING OF PRUSSIA, PA -- Overnight travel restrictions are scheduled on U.S. 422 and Route 23 for construction that is part of a $97.4 million transportation improvement project, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Thursday.

The project also includes the improvement of U.S. 422 between the Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and Route 363 interchanges; the improvement of Route 23; and ramps at the Route 363, Route 23 and First Avenue interchanges. The project is scheduled to finish in May 2020.
