Drivers in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania, should brace for significant delays as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) resumes reconstruction on U.S. 422. Lane closures will take effect from Monday, January 12, through Friday, January 16, as part of an ongoing $83.6 million project aimed at modernizing this heavily traveled stretch of roadway.
Work will primarily impact westbound traffic between the Sanatoga Interchange at Evergreen Road and the Hanover Street Interchange. Specifically, lane closures are scheduled daily from 6:00 to 14:00, while eastbound lanes will be closed from 9:00 to 17:00. Motorists are advised to expect congestion and are encouraged to allow extra travel time during these hours.
Project Details and Impact on Traffic
The reconstruction project covers approximately 2.1 miles of U.S. 422 and includes the replacement of aging bridges in the area between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road. According to PennDOT, this initiative aims to enhance safety, improve ride quality, and ensure long-term reliability for a corridor that accommodates thousands of vehicles each day.
With lane restrictions occurring primarily during daytime hours, traffic conditions are likely to vary throughout the week. PennDOT has emphasized the importance of planning ahead for those traveling through this area. To stay informed about real-time traffic conditions, motorists can visit the MyChesCo Traffic Center for updates on lane closures and potential delays.
The ongoing work is part of a broader strategy by PennDOT to address infrastructure concerns and improve the overall driving experience. As weather conditions can affect construction schedules, updates will be provided as necessary.
