Travel Restrictions For U.S. 422 Construction Announced

Weekday travel restrictions are scheduled next week on U.S. 422 and Route 63 (Trooper Road) in Upper Providence, Lower Providence and West Norriton townships for road construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said Thursday.

This work is part of PennDOT’s plan to widen Trooper Road and add two more ramps to the interchange with 422.

The project, which costs $16.8 million, is scheduled to be completed this fall.

On Monday, November 9, through Friday, November 13, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 422 east and west for line painting, pavement marker installation, and overhead sign operations. The eastbound lane will be closed between the Oaks and Route 363 (Trooper Road) interchanges, and the westbound restriction will be closed from the bridge over the Schuylkill River to the Route 363 (Trooper Road) Interchange.

Lanes will also be closed on Trooper Road between U.S. 422 and Audubon Road, and on Audubon Road approaching the intersection Trooper, for roadway, traffic signal, and sidewalk construction.

While the work will not begin until after prime rush hour, and is over before the evening commute, motorists should expect congestion and should consider alternate routes.
