PECO Energy is planning to close Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) between Pawlings Road and Country Club Road in Schuylkill Township, Chester County, beginning Thursday, April 15, for gas main installation, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The closure will be in place Mondays through Fridays and possibly Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM through Tuesday, November 30.

During the closure, motorists will be detoured over Whitehorse Road and Valley Park Road. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.
