    Roadway Reconstruction to Close Township Line Road Beginning April 27 in East Norriton, Whitpain Townships

    April 16, 2026

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway reconstruction will close a section of Township Line Road under a $55 million project to improve, widen and reconstruct approximately 1.8 miles of the highway in Norristown and East Norriton and Whitpain townships, Montgomery County.

    Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Local and emergency access will be maintained at all times on the eastbound side of Township Line Road.

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

    The closure will allow PennDOT’s contractor to complete the full depth reconstruction of the roadway pavement on the west leg of the Dekalb Pike and Township Line Road intersection, as well as the full depth reconstruction of the center and westbound lanes between Dekalb Pike and Swede Road. 

    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.
