    Project Overview

    County: Montgomery
    Municipality: East Norriton Township
    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: Road Reconstruction
    Last Updated: April 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 Borough/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

    Between Monday April 27, 2026, and Tuesday May 5, 2026,  Township Line Road will be closed and detoured 24/7 between Swede Road and U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) for roadway reconstruction activities. During the closure motorists will be directed to use Swede Road, Germantown Pike, and U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike).

    During this closure PennDOT’s contractor will complete the full depth reconstruction of the roadway pavement at the 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. 

    All eastbound and westbound traffic on Township Line Road will be detoured around the work via Germantown Pike, U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) and Swede Road.  Single lane local and emergency access will be maintained on the eastbound side of Township Line Road, utilizing a portion of Dekalb Boulevard and Washington Avenue.

    This road closure will enable the work to be completed within a much shorter timeframe and ahead of upcoming single lane traffic conditions on Germantown Pike.
