• NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN SCHEDULED NEXT FOR ROUTE 202 BRIDGE WHITPAIN TOWNSHIP |
|
|
The Pennsylvania Turnpike is advising motorists to be prepared for slow moving or stopped traffic when traveling on DeKalb Pike (S.R. 0202) Monday, July 6 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. while construction workers reconfigure the traffic pattern on the bridge that crosses I-476 in Whitpain Township, Montgomery County. Crews will remove existing pavement markings and paint new lines for the stage 2 traffic pattern and motorists should anticipate possible single lane conditions when entering the construction area.
At 6 p.m. Monday night, and continuing into Tuesday morning, July 7, a flagger controlled, single-lane pattern will be in effect to allow workers to place temporary concrete barrier and install impact attenuators, then shift traffic to the northbound side of the Route 202 bridge. The new traffic pattern is in preparation for the partial demolition of the southside portion of the bridge, tentatively scheduled for July 19. The contractor’s schedule is weather permitting and subject to change.
Motorists are urged to stay alert for slow moving traffic and use extra caution when approaching and entering construction zones and obey posted speed limits. Speed limits will be enforced and fines doubled. Motorists are well advised to take extra care and not speed through road work sites. Under state law: Fines for driving violations in active work zones, marked by flashing lights, are doubled. Motorists traveling 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit can lose their driver's licenses for 15 days. Points assessed to motorists' driving records are doubled for work zone infractions. Some work zones have signs requiring motorists to turn on headlights.
