King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that resurfacing is scheduled on Route 73 (Skippack Pike) in Skippack Township, Montgomery County as part of a project to repair and resurface 48 miles of state highways in Montgomery County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups may occur. The schedule is weather dependent.
Under the improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
Allan Meyers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $14,626,309 resurfacing project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
