In a display of efficiency, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has declared that traffic is restored to its full capacity on U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) following some swift and necessary pavement repairs. The thoroughfare, which serves as a critical artery in the King of Prussia area, was partially shut down after crews discovered a significant depression that posed a potential risk to the unweary traveler.
PennDOT's quick response to get to absolutely ensure the safety of motorists began Wednesday morning, April 17, immediately closing the affected northbound travel lanes between Henderson Road and Saulin Boulevard in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County. The damaged area was thoroughly excavated to remove any unstable material.
True to form, workers backfilled the depression, laid down a solid subbase and binder, before finally capping it off with fresh pavement and stripping, according to the PennDOT press release. The efficient operation was concluded with a flourish as the restored lanes welcomed traffic once again, just shortly before the morning commute on April 19.
