Replacement of the Pruss Hill Road bridge in Lower Pottsgrove is back on track, after township commissioners approved the lowest bid submitted by a Lehigh Valley contractor. It was one of five offered for the job.
Transportation
Spring-time road resurfacing continues this week. PennDOT has projects planned in Upper Providence, West Vincent, East Vincent, South Coventry, Charlestown, Schuylkill, and East Pikeland townships.
The focus of PennDOT's pothole-filling crews in Montgomery County during the coming week will be solely on potholes that litter U.S. Route 422 across Limerick Township, the agency said.
Sign installations will be conducted next Monday through Thursday on part of Route 663, and line-striping and rumble-strip installations are planned Monday through Friday elsewhere on the highway.
Utility construction work to be conducted by North Coventry municipal crews will require the township, with PennDOT's approval, to close a single lane on Route 724 between South Keim and Keim Streets for more than three weeks.
Five roads in portions of Upper Providence, Collegeville, Schuylkill, East Pikeland, West Vincent, East Vincent, and South Coventry will have lanes restricted this week due to road repaving efforts.
The installation of signs, lane striping, and rumble strips on Route 663 in parts of Upper Hanover Township and Pennsburg borough may again prompt intermittent lane closures.
As PennDOT mills, adjusts, and repaves highways in parts of Upper Providence, Limerick, Collegeville, and Trappe, drivers can expect lane closures and some traffic disruptions. The payoff: smoother future travel.
