Markley, Main Street Intersection Construction To Finish By Year's End

NORRISTOWN, PA — Officials provided the clearest update yet on the major construction on U.S. 202 South in Norristown, with at least one significant milestone expected to be reached by the end of the year.

Crews are currently wrapping up utility work on Markley Street just south of the Stony Creek bridge, authorities said, and are also placing concrete pavement near the intersection with Main Street.

Once concrete roadway slabs are placed, the intersection will be completed, which officials said will happen by the end of 2022.

The intersection will be closed for some 10 days while this work is completed. PennDOT said this will likely be sometime between late November and December.

Meanwhile, construction will focus on surfacing the area between Elm Street and the new bridge over Stony Creek with asphalt, officials said.

Beyond the Main Street intersection, work could continue into early 2023 on utilities, drainage, curb, sidewalk, and lighting installation.

Contractor Alan Myers of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $23.9 million project.
