    Step 3 of 4

    Construction

    Next Step:  Completion

    Project Overview

    County: Montgomery
    Municipality: East Norriton, Whitpain townships, Norristown
    State Route(s): U.S. 202, Route 3017, and Route 3001
    Local Name(s): Dekalb Pike, Johnson Highway, Germantown Pike, and Township Line Road
    Project Type: Roadway Reconstruction and Widening
    Last Updated: June 2026

    The U.S. 202 Section 61S project will widen and improve 1.8 miles of U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) from south of Johnson Highway at the Norristown/East Norriton Township dividing line to Township Line Road at the East Norriton Township/Whitpain Township dividing line. 

    PennDOT is reconstructing and widening U.S. 202 from two lanes to provide a four-lane cross-section consisting of two travel lanes northbound, a center turn lane, and one travel lane southbound. Five-foot bicycle lanes will be provided in both directions along the entire project area, along with new sidewalks and ADA Ramps.  The project will construct a new precast concrete box culvert, two new sound walls, and a new bridge, as well as install new traffic signals, traffic cameras, and a dynamic message sign.  

    The project also involves major aerial and underground utility relocations and installations for PECO Electric, PECO Gas, Verizon, Comcast, PA American Water, and  AQUA PA sanitary sewer, on Johnson Highway, Dekalb Pike, Germantown Pike, Dekalb Boulevard, and Township Line Road.  

    Construction Update

    Through Tuesday, June 16, Township Line Road will be closed and detoured 24/7 between Swede Road and U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike). During the closure, motorists will continue to use Swede Road, Germantown Pike, and U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike).

    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 may occur.

    This closure will allow PennDOT’s contractor to complete the full depth reconstruction of the roadway pavement on the west leg of the U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and Township Line Road intersection, as well as the full depth reconstruction of the center and westbound lanes between U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and Swede Road. 

    Once the detour for Township Line Road is lifted on Tuesday, June 16, work will begin to complete the reconstruction of a section of Germantown Pike and the east leg of the U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and Township Line Road intersection.

    Beginning on Wednesday, June 17, Germantown Pike between Mill Road and Hannah Avenue will be reduced to a single lane of traffic in each direction 24/7 through Thursday, October 1. Traffic shifts will also occur through the work zone as the roadway is reconstructed and restored.

    The east leg of the U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and Township Line Road intersection will also be reconstructed this summer and early fall utilizing traffic shifts while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction.
