URGENT UPDATE: Major lane closures are set to affect traffic on U.S. Route 422 next week as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) continues crucial roadway and bridge reconstruction efforts. Motorists are urged to prepare for significant delays and plan alternative routes during this period.
Starting Monday, November 17, 2023, and continuing through Friday, November 21, 2023, lane closures will be enforced on westbound U.S. 422 between the Sanatoga (Evergreen Road) and Armand Hammer Boulevard interchanges from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m.. Eastbound traffic will face similar restrictions during the same dates, with closures from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. between the same interchanges.
Additionally, Sanatoga Road will remain closed and detoured between Linfield Road and High Street until Monday, December 1, 2023, due to ongoing demolition of the westbound side of the bridge over U.S. 422. Motorists are advised to use High Street, Evergreen Road, and Linfield Road as alternate routes.
Travelers are strongly encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys as backups and delays are anticipated in these work zones. This construction is part of a broader $83.6 million project aimed at reconstructing and improving approximately 2.1 miles of the expressway and replacing bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove Township.
All scheduled activities are contingent on weather conditions, making it imperative for drivers to stay updated on real-time traffic reports and construction developments. The impact of these closures could be significant, making it essential for commuters to consider alternative routes to minimize disruption.
