Road Work to Affect Travel This Week

Drivers will face daytime traffic restrictions on roadways in Bucks and Montgomery counties this week, July 5-8, for construction of the Route 202 Parkway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said recently.

Drivers in Warrington and New Britain townships will encounter periodic single lanes with flaggers Tuesday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for road widening on:
 

• Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Avenue);
• Upper State Road between County Line and Pickertown roads; and
• County Line Road between Stump and Upper State roads.

 
Additional travel restrictions in Doylestown and Warrington townships for Parkway and other bridge construction include:
 

• The closure of Wells Road between Lower State and Turk roads;
• The permanent closure of Detweiler Road between Stump and Upper State roads; and
• The closure of Lower State Road to northbound traffic between Bristol and Almshouse roads.

Construction to install left turn lanes at two approaches to the intersection of Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Upper Gwynedd and Lower Gwynedd townships will result in lane closes at the intersection Tuesday through Friday this week from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
 
Crews will be grading and paving new left turn lanes on Route 202 South and Route 63 West to improve traffic flow through the work area as construction continues on the southern terminus of the Parkway. Motorists should expect delays approaching the intersection during this weekday operation.
 
Periodic lane closures also will occur on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike), between Sumneytown Pike and Route 63 (Welsh Road), and on Route 63 (Welsh Road), between Stump Road and Bell Run Boulevard, for utility relocation and widening on Tuesday through Friday (July 5-8) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
 
Drivers should anticipate delays and add extra time for travel through the construction areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.
