HBO Filming In Delaware County Next Week, Road Impacts Coming

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — HBO will again be filming in Delaware County next week, and the production will force lane and road closures, PennDOT said.

According to PennDOT, HBO's shoot will impact West Chester Pike/Route 3 in Newtown Township and Gradyville in Edgmont Township.

On West Chester Pike, rolling lane closures are planned in both directions Tuesday, Aug. 6, and Wednesday, Aug.7.

These rolling lane closures are planned between 7 p.m. and 1 a.m. the following morning.

The affected portion of road is between Campus Boulevard and Bishop Hollow Road.

And in Edgmont, Gradyville Road will be closed and detoured between Delchester Road and Providence Road Tuesday and Wednesday.

During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Providence Road, West Chester Pike, and Delchester Road. Local access will be maintained up to the work zone.

This closure will be in effect from 7 a.m. to 1 a.m., PennDOT said.

HBO has been filming its upcoming show "Task" in and around Delaware County.

"Task" stars Mark Ruffalo, whose role is a "damaged" FBI agent, the actor told Deadline.

"Task" has filmed all over the region over the past several months, including in Chadds Ford, Ridley Township, Edgmont Township, Aston Township, Upper Chichester Township, Phoenixville Township, Schuylkill Township, and Wissahickon Valley Park.

Ruffalo is previously starred in another Delaware County-set production in 2014's "Foxcatcher." Ruffalo played wrestler Dave Schultz, who was killed by John Eleuthère du Pont at du Pont's farm in Newtown Square in 1996.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
