Today PennDOT announced ITS improvements along U.S.422 that will cause periodic lane closures in Montgomery and Chester counties as part of an 83.6 million dollar project to rebuild a 2.1-mile section of road.
The work will affect eastbound and westbound lanes at set times, and motorists should allow extra travel time—drivers are urged to follow posted safety instructions.
PennDOT crews will repair damaged pavement on several key roads in Chester County next week due to weather that freezes and thaws.
Motorists should expect travel slowdowns near work zones — and report any pothole concerns to PennDOT's Customer Care Center.
