Drivers traversing Lower Frederick Township, take heed: utility work slated for eastbound Little Road is set to throw a wrench in your usual commute. According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Prestige Property Partners LLC is embarking on a construction project that will inevitably stir traffic into a less-than-pleasant concoction of delays and detours from February 17 through February 21 during the peak hours of 9 AM to 3 PM daily.
The stretch of road in question, the eastbound side of Little Road, will be closed to through traffic between Route 29 (Gravel Pike) and Simmons Road. Instead, motorists will be shuffled along an alternate route comprising Route 29 (Gravel Pike), Route 73 (Big Road), and Perkiomenville Road, as per the information detailed in PennDOT's news release. Local traffic, however, will still be able to access the area up to the edge of the construction zone, but all others should brace for the inevitable snarl of traffic to come.
