Route 422 West lane closure for patching begins June 21

Westbound Route 422 will be reduced to a single lane next week between Township Line Road and Evergreen Road for roadway patching under a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair seven structures along a five-mile section of Route 422 between the Royersford/Trappe and Sanatoga interchanges in Limerick and Lower Pottsgrove townships.

The work schedule is:

• Sunday, June 21, through Friday, June 26, from 7:00 PM to 2:00 PM the following afternoon, a right lane closure is scheduled on westbound Route 422; and

• Friday, June 26, and Saturday, June 27, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM the following night, a right lane closure is scheduled on westbound Route 422.

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

H & K Group Inc. of Skippack 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.

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 jobsite 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 Route 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.
