Road Work to Affect Doylestown-Area Roads

More periodic lane closures will affect several roads in Bucks and Montgomery counties for Route 202 Parkway construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said.

Also, Pickertown Road, which had been closed between Upper State and Stump roads in Warrington Township for construction of a bridge over the Parkway, is expected to reopen Monday, Oct. 22.

Drivers on Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) in New Britain and Warrington townships will encounter periodic single lane conditions between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Pike) on Monday through Friday (Oct. 22-26) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for drainage work, milling and paving.

Motorists on Route 309 (County Line Road) in New Britain and Warrington townships will encounter intermittent traffic stoppages between Upper State Road and Stump Road on Monday through Friday (Oct. 22-26) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. for a temporary truck crossing.

Ongoing construction of sign foundations, overhead sign installations and testing of new traffic signal equipment will result in periodic short-term lane closures Monday through Friday (Oct. 22-26) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on:

•     Route 202 (Doylestown Road/Butler Avenue) between Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) in Montgomery Township and Route 611 in Doylestown Township;

•     Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) between the Five Points Intersection in Montgomery Township and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Lower Gwynedd Township;

•     Upper State Road between Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) in Montgomery Township and Route 202 (W. Butler Avenue) in Doylestown Township; and

•     Route 611 Bypass between Turk Road and Limekiln Pike in Doylestown Township.

The new 8.4-mile, state-funded Parkway will open in early December to provide motorists with a direct route for travel between Montgomeryville and Doylestown, with access to key cross streets in between.

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