Road upgrade gets underway in Perkiomen Valley

By

Under this project, PennDOT will improve traffic flow and safety along Church Road (Route 73) by widening the highway and adding turn lanes at the Greenwood Avenue Intersection, and re-timing of the existing traffic signal at Rices Mill Road to create an exclusive left turn movement for westbound Church Road motorists.

Work will begin this week on an $11.3 million road improvement project in Perkiomen Valley.

The intersection of Meyers Road and Miller Road will be closed and detoured Friday, Aug. 24, at 7 p.m. through 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, as the initial excavation gets underway, according to Digital First Media.

Ultimately, the efforts will widen the intersection of Route 73 (Skippack Pike) and Plank Road, as well as relocate  Otts Road to align with Plank Road at Route 29 (Gravel Pike) to create a four-leg intersection.

H & K Group Inc. of Skippack is the general contractor on the project that is financed with 100 percent state funds.
