    Construction Scheduled Next Week on Markley Street (U.S. 202 South) in Norristown

    September 17, 2025

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction is scheduled next week on northbound Markley Street (U.S. 202 South) under a $7.8 million project to repair the Elm Street Stone Arch Bridge in Norristown, Montgomery County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel through the work area. All planned activities are weather dependent and may be postponed.

    PennDOT’s contractor has substantially completed top-side work on the Elm Street Stone Arch Bridge and is finishing repairs to the under-side “arch barrels” that support the structure. Physical construction to the under-side is scheduled to be substantially completed in December 2025.

    In addition to rehabilitating the bridge’s arch barrels, PennDOT reconstructed and widened Markley Street at the intersection; installed new adaptive traffic signals at the intersection; relocated the sanitary sewer and water mains; installed new curbs and sidewalks and ADA curb ramps; and installed new signing and guide rails.

    Rehabilitation of the Elm Street Arch Bridge wraps up more than 10 years of construction to improve the Markley Street/U.S.202 South corridor (Section 500) through the Borough of Norristown.
