U.S. 422 Trimmed To One Lane For Construction in Limerick Twp.

LIMERICK TOWNSHIP, PA — Travel on U.S. 422 in Limerick Township will be restricted to one lane in both directions starting early Sunday, due to construction.

Upper Indian Head Road under U.S. 422 will also be restricted next week in Upper Providence Township, said PennDOT.

U.S. 422 motorists will encounter a single lane closure in both directions next week as workers resurface the road and install signage.

The work schedule is:

• Sunday, Sept. 20, through Friday, Sept. 25, from 3 a.m. to 2 p.m., the following afternoon, alternating left and right lane closures will be in place on westbound U.S. 422 between Township Line Road and Evergreen Road and at the Limerick and Sanatoga interchanges; and
• Monday, Sept. 21, through Friday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., alternating left and right lane closures will be in place on eastbound U.S. 422 between Park Road and Township Line Road and at the Limerick and Sanatoga interchanges.

In addition, lane restrictions with flagging will occur on Upper Indian Head Road between Cider Mill Road and Winding Ridge Road in Upper Providence Township on Monday, September 21, through Friday, Sept. 25, from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for bridge construction.

The work is part of a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair seven structures along a five-mile section of U.S. 422 between the Royersford/Trappe and Sanatoga interchanges in Limerick and Lower Pottsgrove townships, Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.

Under this two-year improvement project, PennDOT’s contractor will mill, overlay and rehabilitate existing U.S. 422 pavement; perform bridge deck repairs, concrete and joint patching, sealing and drainage improvements; install new guide rail and rumble strips; and repair or replace damaged traffic signs along the corridor.

H & K Group Inc. of Skippack, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $19.1 million project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. The entire project is expected to be completed in summer 2021. For information, visit www.422improvements.com.
