    Construction Begins June 16 on Germantown Pike Under the U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) Improvement Project in Montgomery County

    June 02, 2025

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway reconstruction will begin on Monday, June 16, on Germantown Pike through the intersection with U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) under a $55 million project to improve, widen and reconstruct approximately 1.8 miles of U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) in Norristown and East Norriton and Whitpain townships, Montgomery County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    During construction, all left turn lanes and local access to businesses and residences will be maintained.

    Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow more time for travel through the work area because significant backups and slowdowns will occur.

    The work on Germantown Pike will be performed in multiple stages, to maintain traffic movements during construction, and will include:

    • Construction of new drainage pipes and inlets.
    • Full depth roadway removal.
    • Construction of new curbs, sidewalks and ADA ramps.
    • Bituminous paving.
    • Construction of new concrete islands.
    • Traffic Signal, crosswalk and lighting improvements at the Germantown Pike intersection.

    Under this U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) improvement project, PennDOT’s contractor will: 

    • Reconstruct and widen U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) from the existing two lanes to two lanes northbound, one lane southbound and a center turn lane from Johnson Highway to Township Line Road.
    • Install five-foot bicycle lanes in both directions along the entire project area.
    • Build new sidewalks at various locations.
    • Reconstruct one bridge and one box culvert.
    • Construct two sound walls and retaining walls.
    • Install new signals, signing and pavement markings.
    • Perform drainage improvements.
    • Integrate Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve traffic flow.

    This project is a critical part of a comprehensive, multi-phase program to reconstruct, widen and improve travel on a 9.1-mile section of U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and selected intersections between Johnson Highway in Norristown and Route 309 in Montgomery Township.
