Lane Closures On Valley Park Road, Route 422 To Disrupt Area Traffic

Upcoming lane closures on Route 422 and Valley Park Road will disrupt traffic patterns in the area, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation recently announced.

Access to Valley Park Road will be limited through April as lane restrictions will be in place for ongoing bridge repair in Schuylkill Township, PennDOT said.

The road will be narrowed to a single lane between Clothier Springs Road and Anderson Farm Road, officials said. The work began on March 23 and will continue through late April.

Meanwhile, farther down Route 422, additional restrictions will be in place. The left lane will be shut down westbound in Lower Pottsgrove, between Sanatoga and Armand Hammer. Closures will be in place on Thursday, March 30 and Friday, March 31 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The closures are related to bridge construction over the Schuylkill River and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.

The work is part of a $73.3 million project to rebuild 1.6 miles of U.S. 422 in that area. It's slated for completion in October 2018.
