Crews also will remove a hill near the entrance to the new parkway trailhead parking lot to improve sight distance for drivers leaving the lot; install drainage pipes and inlets; and install curbing on the south side of the road.
New Britain Road will be closed between Sunset View Drive and Rolling Hill Boulevard. The posted detour will take motorists over Lower State Road, Wells Road and Turk Road.
PennDOT’s contractor is James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia.
