Only later-night drivers are likely to be inconvenienced Jan. 26 by a westbound U.S. Route 422 lane closure in King of Prussia. It’s needed for work to construct a new Pennsylvania Turnpike bridge.
With 11 photos. A driver lost control Tuesday morning of a dump truck while headed east on U.S. Route 422 in Lower Pottsgrove. It went flying off the side of a bridge and down a steep ravine. The driver survived. Part of the highway was closed.
Police have asked for public help in providing information about a late Tuesday incident on westbound U.S. Route 422, in which a driver allegedly fired two shots at a vehicle exiting at South Hanover Street.
Separate and unrelated accidents that occurred Thursday - one involving three vehicles in Limerick; the other, two vehicles in Skippack - required state police responses. One driver was injured, and tow trucks were busy.
Line striping on both east- and westbound sides of U.S. Route 422 is scheduled by PennDOT for overnights only between Tuesday and Friday. Affected: Lower and Upper Providence, Limerick, West and Lower Pottsgrove, and North Coventry townships.
First responders arrived Friday at about 7:12 a.m. to what was described by Montgomery County dispatchers as a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Route 422 east of Armand Hammer Boulevard. Details were unavailable at publication time.
Township commissioners signed off Tuesday on an agreement under which PennDOT will reimburse Lower Pottsgrove for costs related to moving a sewer line. It's in the way of a coming bridge replacement on U.S. Route 422.
Bridge repair and other work on U.S. Route 422 in both directions between Township Line and Evergreen roads will create changing lane and shoulder traffic conditions this week, PennDOT said.
