New Traffic Pattern on Walton Road That Crosses I-476 in Plymouth Township
Transfer of 2-way traffic onto new portion of bridge begins this week.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA (02/02/2010)(readMedia)-- The Pennsylvania Turnpike is advising motorists to be prepared for slow moving or stopped traffic when traveling on Walton Road (SR3012) Thursday, February 4, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. while construction workers reconfigure the traffic pattern on the bridge that crosses I-476 in Plymouth Township, Montgomery County. Crews will remove existing pavement markings and paint new lines for a new traffic pattern and motorists should anticipate possible single lane conditions when entering the construction area.
Wednesday night (2/3) at 6 p.m. crews will use temporary channelizing devices to set up an intermediate pattern to relocate eastbound traffic and Thursday morning (2/4) starting at 9 a.m. begin removing existing lines and paint new tie-in pavement markings. Westbound traffic will then be switched onto the new bridge completing the change to the Stage 3 traffic pattern on Walton Road. The new traffic pattern is in preparation for the removal of the steel girders on the northside of the bridge scheduled for February 28. The contractor's schedule is weather permitting and subject to change.
The $12 million project to replace the Walton Road and Route 202 Bridges, in advance of construction of the 10.5 mile Northeastern Extension Total Reconstruction and 6-Lane Widening project, began in March 2009. The next stage to complete the replacement of the bridges begins with the Stage 3 traffic switch. The bridges remain open to traffic and the current traffic pattern will remain in place until the anticipated completion date for the project in September 2010.
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.
