Lane Closures Set for Route 422 on Wednesday

The following was provided to Patch by PennDOT:

Eastbound Route 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one at the Route 363 (Trooper Road) Interchange in West Norriton and Lower Providence townships, Montgomery County, from 7 p.m. Wednesday (Dec. 3) to 6 a.m. Thursday (Dec. 4) for the placement of concrete barriers along the right shoulder of the highway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Tuesday.

The work is associated with PennDOT’s $16.8 million project to improve travel through the U.S. 422-Route 363 (Trooper Road) Interchange by constructing two additional access ramps and widening Route 363 (Trooper Road).

Weather permitting, the eastbound right lane of U.S. 422 will be closed during this overnight operation.

PennDOT began construction in October 2013 to build an on-ramp from Route 363 (Trooper Road) to westbound U.S. 422 and an off-ramp from eastbound U.S. 422 to Route 363 (Trooper Road), and to widen Route 363 (Trooper Road). Construction is scheduled to finish in fall 2015.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $16,857,533 contract, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
