Road Work to Affect Doylestown-Area Roads

Motorists may encounter intermittent lane closures this week as contractors wrap-up work on several roads in Bucks and Montgomery in preparation for opening the new Route 202 Parkway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said.

Drivers may face lane closures on Upper State Road between Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) in Montgomery Township and Route 202 (Butler Avenue) in Doylestown Township, and on the Route 611 Bypass between Turk Road and Limekiln Pike in Doylestown Township from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday through Friday (Nov. 26-30).

Short-term lane closures will be in place in along Route 202 (DeKalb Pike/Butler Avenue) between Hancock Road in Upper Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County and Route 611 in Doylestown from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Occasional lane restrictions also will occur at intersections along Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) between the Five Points intersection in Montgomery Township and Route 63 (Welsh Road) in Lower Gwynedd Township on Monday through Thursday (Nov. 26-29) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Construction crews are completing traffic signal testing, sign and guiderail installation, line striping and miscellaneous activities in advance of the Parkway’s Dec. 3 opening.

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