    PennDOT To Begin Safety Improvement Project On Route 23 (Schuylkill Road/Nutt Road/Valley Forge Road) in Chester County

    March 09, 2026

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on Wednesday, March 11, on a project to improve safety along Route 23 (Schuylkill Road/Nutt Road/Valley Forge Road). The project spans from Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) to Whitehorse Road in East Pikeland and Schuylkill townships, and Phoenixville Borough, Chester County.

    This safety improvement project encompasses eleven signalized intersections along the corridor. It includes widening and restriping the eastbound Route 23 approach to create a dedicated left-turn lane at the intersection with Township Line Road, as well as milling and overlaying this intersection. Additionally, the project involves removing existing median islands and reconfiguring the Route 23 (Nutt Road) and Route 113 (Bridge Street) intersection within the current road layout, along with milling and overlaying the intersection.

    Beginning Wednesday, March 11, through Friday, November 20, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and 7:00 PM to 3:00 AM the following morning as needed, a weekday periodic lane closure with flagging will be in place on Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) at the intersection with Township Line Road for milling and paving.

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    H&K Group, Inc. of Skippack, PA, is the general contractor on the $2.5 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Physical construction on the project is expected to finish in the fall of 2026.

    For more information on the project, please visit the Route 23 Corridor Safety Improvements project page.
