Thursday morning traffic approaches East High Street at North Sanatoga Road, which had been milled overnight by a PennDOT contractor, Allan A. Myers
The road surface is due to be repaved
SANATOGA PA – Employees of highway contractor Allan A. Myers and American Infrastructure worked overnight Wednesday (Aug. 10, 2011) to mill the pavement of North Sanatoga Road, between East High Street and North Pleasant View Road, for future resurfacing, the King of Prussia office of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said.
The work, which is part of what was reported to be a $9.5 million contract to repair the state-owned roads, was anticipated to continue Thursday night (Aug. 11) from 6 p.m. through Friday morning (Aug. 12) at 6 a.m.
The company also was scheduled to work on portions of Bliem Road west to North Charlotte Street, according to PennDOT’s notice. Lane restrictions and delayed traffic were expected as a result.
About 10 percent of the King of Prussia region’s state road system is repaved each spring using a variety of methods and materials, PennDOT’s website explained. Individual projects are typically small scale, with crews completing short paving sections in a few days to a week before moving on to another location and beginning again.
Work on most surface treatment roadways is limited to off-peak hours, it said, to minimize the impact on traffic. Because protection of paving crews on most surface treatment roadways is limited due to the temporary nature of the projects, PennDOT added, motorists should obey speed limits and drive with extreme care when traveling through highway work zones.
