Get ready for a bit of congestion if you're hitting U.S. 422 in Lower Pottsgrove Township next week. PennDOT just flagged that bridge repairs and roadway reconstructions are on the clock, set to ripple through your commute along a crucial 2.1-mile stretch of this expressway. With an $83.6 million project budget at the ready, they're tackling the area between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road in Montgomery County.
For those venturing out from Monday, July 29, through Friday, August 2, PennDOT warns of lane closures that could squeeze your travel time. Expect a tighter westbound journey with a lane closure from 2:00 AM to 2:00 PM between Evergreen Road and Armand Hammer Boulevard, all for the sake of bridge deck and guiderail repairs. Meanwhile, eastbound travelers will confront their own squeeze with another closure from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM stretching from Keim Street to Evergreen Road, as crews graft new life into the roadway.
Delays are part of the package – there's just no sugarcoating it – so factor in some extra minutes, or even hours, when planning your drive. With Construction and patience both hitting their stride, PennDOT's advisory remains the same: keep an eye out for the signs and say a timely farewell to your usual express travel down U.S. 422 during those periods. All of these scheduled operations, of course, hinge on the whims of the weather.
