Stump Road Closed Through Wednesday

Stump Road will be closed and detoured between County Line Road and Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) in Warrington this week, Monday through Wednesday, May 14-16, for reconstruction, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

This operation to rebuild a 1,000-foot long stretch of Stump Road at the intersection of County Line Road is being done as part of PennDOT’s $13.5 million project to widen County Line Road to five lanes between Stump Road and Route 202, Doylestown Road.

Stump Road is scheduled to close Monday, May 14, at 7 a.m. and reopen late Wednesday afternoon, May 16.
 
During the road closure, Stump Road through traffic will be detoured over County Line Road, Upper State Road and Route 152 (Limekiln Pike). Local access will be maintained during the three-day closure, but drivers will only be able to reach Stump Road from Route 152 (Limekiln Pike).
 
The Stump Road construction schedule is dependent on the weather.
 
Construction began in late 2010 to widen this 2.1-mile section of County Line Road to provide two lanes in each direction and a center turn lane. The project also includes building the intersection with the new Route 202 Parkway.
 
James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $13,531,423 project.

Other work going on this week related to the construction of the $200 million Route 202 Parkway in Bucks and Montgomery County will result in periodic lane restrictions along Route 202 and Route 309.
 
The installation of new traffic signal components will result in periodic lane closures at signalized intersections along Route 202 and a section of Route 309 on Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Signal work will take place at the following locations:
 

• Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) between the Five Points intersection in Montgomeryville and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Lower Gwynedd Township, and
• Route 202 (Doylestown Road/Butler Avenue) between the Five Points intersection in Montgomeryville and Route 611 in New Britain and Doylestown townships.
• Drivers in Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships may face slowdowns on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Swedesford Road and Route 63 (Welsh Road) and on Route 63 (Welsh Road) between Stump Road and North Wales Road on Monday through Friday (May 14-18) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for ongoing road widening.

 
Intermittent lane closures and brief stoppages also may occur Monday through Friday (May 14-18) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Pike) in New Britain and Warrington townships and on County Line Road between Upper State Road and Stump Road in New Britain, Warrington and Montgomery townships for road construction.  
 
Drivers should anticipate delays and add extra time for travel through the construction areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.

PennDOT is building the new 8.4-mile long Parkway to enhance travel and ease congestion between Montgomeryville and Doylestown. The Parkway is scheduled to open this fall.
