Route 332 Eastbound Traffic Shift To Last 2 Months

LOWER MAKEFIELD TOWNSHIP, PA —The Route 332 roadway construction project is now moving to the eastbound lanes.

Township officials have posted a construction alert for a project that begins Monday and is expected to last through the end of June.

Starting Monday, eastbound traffic on Route 332 between Lindenhurst Road/Campus Drive and Route 295 will be shifted slightly for temporary barrier installation, officials said.

The barrier will close the right turn lane and right shoulder so crews can complete road widening and reconstruction.

The roadway construction is part of the $5.57 million Prickett Preserve project that is expected to be completed by year's end.

Construction began on Route 332 bypass capacity improvements for the Prickett project in late March.

The work includes:

• Roadway widening along Route 332 for an additional westbound thru lane & a dual-left turn lane onto Stony Hill Road.
• Roadway widening along the I-295 Westbound Off Ramp to provide a dual-right turn lane & a left turn lane onto Route 332.

Township officials said motorists should stay alert for work being performed between the hours of 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Residents should visit the township's website for information regarding any lane restrictions as work progresses.

The contractor on the $5.57 million project is James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia.
