KING OF PRUSSIA PA – The inspection of a U.S. Route 422 bridge crossing the Perkiomen Creek will restrict traffic on an eastbound portion of that highway Thursday morning (Sept. 1, 2011) near Oaks PA, the King of Prussia-based District 6 office of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Tuesday (Aug. 30).

The bridge between Pawlings and Egypt roads in Upper Providence (PA) Township will be subject to inspection from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. during the day, PennDOT Community Relations Coordinator Charles Metzger said.
