URGENT UPDATE: The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has just announced significant lane closures on U.S. 422 that will affect motorists next week. Starting on Monday, November 17, and continuing through Friday, November 21, drivers should prepare for extensive travel disruptions as roadway and bridge reconstruction efforts ramp up.
Motorists traveling westbound on U.S. 422 will face lane closures between the Sanatoga (Evergreen Road) and Armand Hammer Boulevard interchanges from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day. In addition, eastbound traffic will experience similar restrictions between the same interchanges, but during the hours of 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.. These closures are crucial as PennDOT undertakes vital reconstruction work to improve safety and traffic flow.
Sanatoga Road remains closed and detoured between Linfield Road and High Street until Monday, December 1. This closure facilitates the demolition of the westbound side of the bridge over U.S. 422, further complicating travel in the area. Motorists are being redirected to utilize High Street, Evergreen Road, and Linfield Road as alternative routes.
Drivers are strongly advised to allow extra travel time, as significant backups and delays are expected near the construction zones. All work is weather-dependent, and motorists should stay tuned for updates from PennDOT as conditions may change.
This construction is part of PennDOT’s ambitious $83.6 million project aimed at reconstructing and enhancing approximately 2.1 miles of the expressway, which includes replacing bridges between the Sanatoga Interchange and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove Township.
Stay informed and plan your routes accordingly to avoid frustration during this critical roadwork period.
