    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

    Roadway reconstruction will reduce a section of Germantown Pike to a single lane in each direction beginning on Tuesday, June 23, under this $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, drivers are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur.

    PennDOT’s contractor has reopened Township Line Road between Swede Road and U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) following the completion of full depth reconstruction of the 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. 

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