Ridge Pike To Shut Down At Night Next Week In Lower Providence

LOWER PROVIDENCE, PA — Ridge Pike will be shut down overnight in Lower Providence next week for utility work, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced, with residents advised to make alternative plans for late night travel to avoid the key artery.

The closure will be in place from Monday, July 27 through Friday, July 31, from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night.

It impacts Ridge from Perchins Mill Road to Crosskeys Road.

It's part of a larger, ongoing $26.2 million travel and safety improvement project covering both Ridge and Germantown pikes. The Ridge and Germnatown intersection is in the process of being relocated about 1,300 feet east, and a new connector road between them is being installed that will eventually run all the way to Pechins Mill Road.

A new roundabout will also be installed on the connector road.

Drivers will be detoured to Germantown Pike and Evansburg Road during next week's closure.
