Five-Points Intersection Reconstruction to Limit Truck Access From Route 309 to Route 463 (Cowpath Road) for Several Months in Montgomery Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway reconstruction will limit truck traffic travelling from southbound Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) to westbound Route 463 (Cowpath Road) under the $14.2 million project to improve travel and safety through the Five-Points Intersection in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County.

Truck traffic is advised of the following travel restriction:

Under this new traffic pattern, southbound Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike) passenger vehicles will not be restricted from traveling west onto Route 463 (Cowpath Road).

Drivers are advised to allow for extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather dependent.

Under this intersection improvement project, PennDOT’s contractor will install additional through- lanes at the intersection approaches in both directions on Route 463 (Horsham Road/Cowpath Road) and on southbound Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike). Widening of the roadway will allow for 18 travel lanes to approach the intersection, compared to the existing 15 travel lanes, to improve traffic flow and reduce crashes.

Other improvements include upgrading and retiming signalization; installing sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, and guiderail; upgrading stormwater drainage, signage, and pavement markings; adjusting driveway access; and reducing erosion sediment.

Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
