Road Work to Affect Travel This Week

Work continues on the Route 202 Parkway into Doylestown.

The construction of the new Route 202 Parkway, which will improve travel between Montgomeryville and Doylestown when it opens this fall, will result in travel restrictions this week in Bucks and Montgomery counties, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

Bristol Road in Doylestown and Warrington townships will be reduced to one lane in each direction with flaggers for slope grading between Upper State and Stump roads on Monday through Friday (March 12-16) from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m.

Shoulder closures are scheduled on the southbound Route 202 Bypass between the East State Street and Route 611 interchanges in Doylestown Township on Monday through Thursday (March 12-15) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for the installation of Intelligent Transportation Systems components.

In Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships, Montgomery County, motorists may encounter intermittent lane closures Monday through Friday (March 12-16) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Swedesford Road and Route 63 (Welsh Road) for road widening.

Lane restrictions also may be in place on Route 63 (Welsh Road) between Stump Road and North Wales Road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday (March 12-16) for road widening.

Drivers are advised to anticipate delays and add extra time for travel through the construction areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to www.511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.

PennDOT is investing more than $200 million in state funds to build the new nine-mile long Route 202 Parkway and to improve several roads that will intersect with the Parkway. For more information on the Route 202 Parkway, visit www.us202-700.com.
