(OCT. 26, 2009) — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission announced the opening of the newly reconstructed Valley Forge Road Bridge (Route 252) today – weeks ahead of schedule. The bridge crosses the Turnpike at milepost 324.3, 1.6 miles west of the Valley Forge Interchange (Exit #326). Allan A. Myers, a Company of American Infrastructure, was awarded the $4.8 million contract to rebuild the bridge in January with the anticipated opening in mid-November. The new bridge features a stone architectural treatment and includes two 12-foot travel lanes and 8-foot shoulders. It will accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists who use the bridge to access Valley Forge National Park. The area adjacent to the bridge has been landscaped with two rain gardens. The Valley Forge Road Bridge (Route 252) project was the first of nine bridges targeted for replacement as part of the Turnpike’s total reconstruction and widening project. The six-mile Turnpike mainline (I-76) traverses Tredyffrin and Upper Merion Townships. The project area begins at milepost 320 (Future Rt. 29 Slip Ramps) and continues east to milepost 326 (Valley Forge Interchange).

John C. Rafferty Jr., (R-44) to chair the Senate Transportation Committee. He replaces former Sen. Rob Wonderling, who resigned earlier this year. "I look forward to using this new position to help improve our transportation system, which is crucial to protecting public safety and also expanding our economy," Rafferty said. "Transportation issues affect every resident in Pennsylvania, whether it involves a daily commute to work or a bus ride on the public transit system or the movement of goods. Our goal is to have a modern, efficient system that meets the needs of its users." Scarnati said Rafferty was chosen because of his knowledge of the issue and his interest in taking on new transportation challenges. "As a member of the committee, John demonstrated a broad understanding of the major issues we are facing regarding transportation, and, as chairman, I know he will work well with the members, the House and the administration to improve our vast transportation network," Scarnati said.Reported in the Pottstown Mercury on October 22, 200910/22/2009 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/WEEK-OF-OCTOBER-19-CONSTRUCTION-REPORT-nwMFT_83.aspxhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/WEEK-OF-OCTOBER-19-CONSTRUCTION-REPORT-nwMFT_83.aspx• US 422 E & W, Lower Providence, W.

The work is part of PennDOT’s project to realign and widen First Avenue (Route 29) at Main Street to accommodate longer turn lanes; widen Main Street between First Avenue (Route 29) and Second Avenue (Route 29) to add turn lanes; and widen Second Avenue (Route 29) at Main Street for additional turn lanes. The Route 29 and Main Street junction is currently two T-intersections that are offset by 500 feet. In addition, the lane configuration on the Perkiomen Bridge and at the intersection of Germantown Pike and Ridge Pike is being revised to allow for new turn lanes. Five traffic signals are also being replaced and interconnected along Route 29 to improve traffic flow and provide for better emergency responsiveness. In addition, streetscape amenities are being installed along Main Street at First Avenue (Route 29), including new street lights, trees, and decorative cross walks. Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester is the general contractor on the $3,538,747 project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The work is expected to finish by October 30, 2009. PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.

Robert Casey and Arlen Specter have announced funding made available for transportation projects in Pennsylvania. In this area, $1.3 million has been made available for improvements to the Route 422 off-ramp in Oaks. The reconstruction of the westbound off-ramp is aimed at mitigating traffic congestion on 422 and Egypt Road. Although no federal money is announced to help restore rail service between Philadelphia and Reading, a project Specter recently came out to support, the bill does include $3 million to provide commuter rail service from Scranton to New York City. Before the money is released, however, the bill in which it is included, must go through the conference process with the House of Representatives and signed into law by the president.

This work is part of the $12.2 million economic recovery project that began on May 26 (2009). Crews will begin saw cutting areas of old concrete Monday (Aug. 10) and westbound Route 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m., and then from 7 p.m. Monday to 2 p.m. Tuesday (Aug. 11). After Monday, westbound Route 422 will be restricted to one lane weekdays from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. the next afternoon for construction. All westbound lanes will reopen before the afternoon rush hours. Crews also will continue to replace deteriorated concrete and soon will begin resurfacing Route 422’s eastbound lanes between Royersford and Collegeville. Eastbound Route 422 is restricted to one lane weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. PennDOT is rehabilitating and improving this deteriorated 4.5-mile section of Route 422 under a $12.2 million project that is financed by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The project extends from 1,500 feet west of the Royersford Interchange to a half-mile east of the Route 29 (Collegeville) Interchange in Limerick and Upper Providence townships, respectively. Construction is scheduled to finish in July 2010. The improvement project consists of removing deteriorated concrete pavement; pouring new concrete patches; resurfacing the concrete pavement with asphalt; repairing 12 bridges; repairing ramps at the Route 29 and Royersford interchanges; installing safety rumble strips on roadway shoulders; cleaning existing pipe culverts; and installing new guide rail, reflective pavement markers, and Intelligent Transportation System conduit. Route 422 carries 62,000 vehicles a day between the Collegeville and Royersford exits. This portion of the highway, which was built in the early 1970s, has four 12-foot wide travel lanes plus a 10-foot wide outside shoulder and an eight-foot wide inside shoulder. Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Pa. is the general contractor on the $12,217,790 project. Eight sub-contractors are part of the project team and are performing various operations, including paving, traffic control, line painting, concrete saw cutting, pipe cleaning, guide rail and fence installation; rumble strip installations; and seeding and erosion control. In the five-county Philadelphia region, PennDOT is investing $255 million of federal economic recovery money on 29 state and local transportation projects that will improve roads and bridges, install Intelligent Transportation System equipment, upgrade traffic signals, build a multi-use trail, and bring over 3,500 handicap curb ramps up to current design standards.

Eastbound Route 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one Monday through Thursday (June 29-July 2) from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. Following the Independence Day holiday weekend, the eastbound lane closure will be in effect Monday, July 6 through Friday, July 10 from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. PennDOT advises Route 422 drivers to allow additional time for travel through the construction zone.

Toaso said. “We are ready to upgrade this rough stretch of pavement and provide motorists with a smooth, structurally-sound roadway for many years to come.” Construction crews will rehabilitate Route 422 from a half-mile east of the Route 29 (Collegeville) Interchange to 1,500 feet west of the Royersford Interchange in Upper Providence and Limerick townships, respectively. The project is scheduled to finish in July 2010. Starting next week, crews will remove areas of deteriorated concrete pavement and pour new concrete patches on eastbound Route 422. They also will resurface the concrete pavement with asphalt; repair 12 bridges; repair ramps at the Route 29 and Royersford interchanges; install safety rumble strips on roadway shoulders; clean existing pipe culverts; and install new guide rail, reflective pavement markers, and Intelligent Transportation System conduit. Route 422 drivers will face lane closures weekdays, weeknights and some weekends over the next year. The contractor will stage the work so all lanes will be open on eastbound Route 422 during the peak morning commuting hours and all westbound lanes will be open during the peak late afternoon travel hours. Weekend ramps closures will occur at the Route 29 and Royersford interchanges for repairs and resurfacing. Starting Tuesday (May 26) and lasting about three months, eastbound Route 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning for the removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete pavement. The contractor plans to start at the Royersford Interchange and proceed east. When the concrete replacement work shifts to Route 422’s westbound lanes in August or September, westbound motorists will encounter a signal-lane pattern weekdays from 7 p.m. to 2 p.m. the next afternoon. Route 422 carries 62,000 vehicles a day between the Collegeville and Royersford exits. This portion of the highway, which was built in the early 1970s, has four 12-foot wide travel lanes plus a 10-foot wide outside shoulder and an eight-foot wide inside shoulder. Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Pa. is the general contractor on the $12,217,790 project. Eight sub-contractors are part of the project team and will perform various operations, including paving, traffic control, line painting, concrete saw cutting, pipe cleaning, guide rail and fence installation; rumble strip installations; and seeding and erosion control. In the five-county Philadelphia region, PennDOT is investing $257.7 million of federal economic recovery money on 21 state and local transportation projects that will improve roads and bridges, install Intelligent Transportation System equipment, upgrade traffic signals, build a multi-use trail, and bring over 3,500 handicap curb ramps up to current design standards. PennDOT has opened construction bids for six projects in southeastern Pennsylvania that are financed with ARRA federal funds. Construction bid openings for the remaining 15 projects in the region will occur this month and in June, July and August.

This summer, the park is experimenting with a free shuttle among the most popular destinations to give visitors an alternative to driving. Visitors will now be able to park their cars and step on board The Revolutionary Shuttle. The six-mile loop runs throughout most of the park, and riders can hop on or off at any of nine stops, including the Welcome Center and Washington’s Headquarters. The colorful shuttles, wrapped with images of Continental soldiers, will come along every 15 to 20 minutes, so visitors can take their time at any destination without worrying about meeting a schedule. Partially fueled by bio-diesel, the shuttles will reduce congestion, noise, and emissions in the heart of the park. This Memorial Day weekend (May 23, 24 & 25), shuttle service will be available for park visitors. Shuttle service will not be provided Tuesday, May 26 through Friday, May 29. Service will resume Saturday, May 30 and run seven days a week through August 30, 2009. This year’s shuttle service is an experiment. Park staff will be on hand to reach out to visitors to find out what they do and don’t like about the service, and will tweak it throughout the summer to find the best fit. “The Revolutionary Shuttle is a great new addition to the growing menu of visitor services at Valley Forge,” said park superintendent Mike Caldwell. “We’re experimenting with the service this summer, and if visitors are enthusiastic we’ll expand it next year.” The Revolutionary Shuttle is the latest in a variety of fun, convenient ways to see the park. The popular 90-minute guided Trolley Tour already is running. Trolley Tour riders hear the full story of the Valley Forge Encampment and enjoy the expertise of a professional guide on an open-air trolley, with extended guided stops at Washington’s Headquarters and Muhlenberg’s Brigade. Visitors also can walk, bike, or ride horses on some of the park’s 26 miles of trails. Bike rentals are available at the Lower Welcome Center parking lot. The shuttle is funded through National Park Service Alternative Transportation Funds, and a grant from the Ford Motor Company through the National Park Foundation. Greater Valley Forge Transportation is providing management services.5/21/2009 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/WEEK-OF-MAY-18-CONSTRUCTION-REPORT-nwMFT_56.aspxhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/WEEK-OF-MAY-18-CONSTRUCTION-REPORT-nwMFT_56.aspxUS 422 West, Upper Merion, West Norriton twps. - Line Striping: LANE RESTRICTIONS between PA 363 & First Ave. 10 PM - 5 AM. - 5/18/09-5/19/08 5/18/2009 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/I-76-ROADWORK-CONTINUES-IN-VALLEY-FORGE-AREA-nwMFT_55.aspxhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/I-76-ROADWORK-CONTINUES-IN-VALLEY-FORGE-AREA-nwMFT_55.aspxThe Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is advising motorists traveling I-76 between the Valley Forge (Exit #326) and Downingtown (Exit #312) Interchanges to be prepared for overnight lane closures, Sunday, May 17, westbound 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. and eastbound 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., for construction work in the center lanes at milepost 324.

Motorists can expect to face slower than normal travel speeds when large flat-bed trucks move through Phoenixville to deliver steel beams to the construction staging area. Weather permitting, three trucks are scheduled to enter the borough on Wednesday and Thursday (Jan. 28-29) between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Each truck will carry a 140-foot long steel beam. On Friday (Jan. 30), six trucks will deliver six 80-foot long steel beams to the bridge site between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. The trucks will depart from Lancaster and arrive in the borough on westbound Route 23, then turn right onto Main Street and follow Main Street to the construction area. Restrictions also will be in place on Vanderslice Street between Main Street and Franklin Street. Next week, PennDOT said 14 trucks are scheduled to arrive in Phoenixville on Monday through Thursday (Feb. 2-5) to deliver seven 120-foot long steel beams and seven 80-foot long steel beams. These trucks will enter the borough on Route 113. PennDOT said the $17.5 million dollar project to build the new nine-span Gay Street/Route 113 Bridge is running on schedule. Crews have built the sub-structure support system that consists of eight new reinforced concrete piers and two reinforced concrete abutments, and they will set the new steel beams in place shortly after delivery. The new bridge is scheduled to open in early 2010. PennDOT began construction last April to remove and replace the 84-year-old Gay Street/Route 113 Bridge that spanned French Creek, several local streets, railroad tracks and the former Phoenix Steel site. The new Gay Street/Route 113 Bridge will span 972 feet from end-to-end. The bridge’s concrete deck will be supported by steel beams on the three southern and two northern approach spans, and by steel arches on the four central spans Construction crews are building the new bridge on the same alignment as the existing structure. The new bridge will have two 12-foot wide travel lanes; two 6-foot wide shoulders; two 6-foot wide sidewalks; and ornamental street lights. Nyleve Bridge Corporation of Emmaus, Pa. is the general contractor on the $17,537,681 project. The project is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. Approximately 6,700 vehicles a day traveled over the Gay Street Bridge prior to its closure.1/28/2009 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/LANE-CLOSURE-FRIDAY-ON-ROUTE-422-WEST-TO-PAINT-TRAFFIC-LINES-AND-OPEN-THIRD-LANE-BETWEEN-ROUTES-23-AND-ROUTE-363-IN-MONTGOMERY-CO.--nwMFT_32.aspxhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/LANE-CLOSURE-FRIDAY-ON-ROUTE-422-WEST-TO-PAINT-TRAFFIC-LINES-AND-OPEN-THIRD-LANE-BETWEEN-ROUTES-23-AND-ROUTE-363-IN-MONTGOMERY-CO.--nwMFT_32.aspxKING OF PRUSSIA, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that westbound Route 422 will be reduced from two lanes to one lane between Route 23 and Route 363 in Upper Merion and West Norriton townships, Montgomery County, on Friday (Jan. 23) from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to restripe the pavement and open a third westbound lane between the two interchanges. Motorists are advised to allow additional time to travel west on Route 422 while crews remove existing pavement lines and paint new lines to establish the new three-lane pattern on westbound Route 422 between Route 23 and Route 363. PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso said the pavement striping operation is scheduled for Friday because no rain or snow is in the forecast and the daytime temperature is predicted to be above 40 degrees. Upon completing the line painting operation, PennDOT will open the third westbound lane on this part of Route 422 as part of its $5.5 million project to reduce congestion on the westbound side of the highway during the weekday evening rush hour.

The lane striping is required to open the additional third westbound lane on US 422 between Route 23 and Route 363 (Trooper Road), and the additional exit lane at Route 363 (Trooper Road). PennDOT said the line painting requires ambient air temperatures of at least 40 degrees. The striping will be completed when the temperature meets an acceptable level.

The new spur was built off the existing Route 422 West ramp to Route 23 East. Weather permitting, PennDOT said its contractor will open the new spur ramp Wednesday (Dec. 10) before 6 a.m. Crews will work from 9 p.m. Tuesday (Dec. 9) to 6 a.m. Wednesday (Dec. 10) to prepare to open the spur and motorists may face a lane closure on westbound Route 422 during this operation. Starting Wednesday, westbound Route 422 motorists destined for Route 23 West will use this exit ramp and spur to reach a signalized intersection at Route 23, where they will turn left to proceed west on Route 23. In conjunction with opening the new ramp spur, PennDOT will close and remove the existing loop ramp from Route 422 West to Route 23 West. The opening of the spur ramp along westbound Route 422 is part of PennDOT’s $5.5 million project to reduce onerous congestion on westbound Route 422 during weekday evening rush hours by adding the third westbound lane between the Route 23 and Route 363 interchanges. PennDOT expects to open the new third lane on westbound Route 422 within the next week. Construction began last February and will finish in late December.

Overnight lane closures are scheduled next week (Sept. 22-24) on Route 422 between First Avenue and Route 363 in Upper Merion and West Norriton townships, Montgomery County, for a traffic pattern change, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today. The contractor's work schedule is:  - From 10 p.m. Monday (Sept. 22) to 5 a.m. Tuesday (Sept. 23), Route 422's eastbound and westbound left lanes will be closed.  - From 10 p.m. Tues (Sept. 23) to 5 a.m. Wednesday (Sept. 24), Route 422's westbound left lane will be closed.  - From 10 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 24) to 5 a.m. Thursday (Sept. 25), Route 422's westbound right lane will be closed. Crews will work next week to relocate concrete barriers, paint traffic lines and pave part of the highway to shift two lanes of westbound traffic toward the center of the highway.  Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel on Route 422 during construction.  This operation is part of PennDOT's $5.5 million project to reduce congestion on westbound Route 422 during weekday evening rush hours by adding a third westbound lane between the Route 23 and Route 363 interchanges.  The project also includes repairs to the Route 422 bridge over the Schuylkill River.  Construction is scheduled to finish in late November.9/19/2008 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/REFLECTIVE-PAVEMENT-MARKER-INSTALLATION-NEXT-WEEK-ON-ROUTE-422-IN-MONTCO-AND-ROUTE-309-IN-BUCKS-COUNTY-nwMFT_10.aspxhttp://www.422improvements.com/News/REFLECTIVE-PAVEMENT-MARKER-INSTALLATION-NEXT-WEEK-ON-ROUTE-422-IN-MONTCO-AND-ROUTE-309-IN-BUCKS-COUNTY-nwMFT_10.aspxREFLECTIVE PAVEMENT MARKER INSTALLATION NEXT WEEK ON ROUTE 422 IN MONTCO AND ROUTE 309 IN BUCKS COUNTY09/11/2008-KING OF PRUSSIA: New reflective pavement markers will be installed next week on Route 422 in Montgomery County and Route 309 in Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced. The work is part of a $421,347 project to install reflective pavement markers on several state highways and ramps in the region. Installation will begin 10 p.m. Monday (September 15). Work will be done during the overnight hours. The work crew will occupy one lane to conduct a slow-moving operation. Motorists are advised to be alert of this moving operation and to expect possible slowdowns when driving near the work crews. The operation is dependent on the weather. The work schedule for next week is:Monday through Wednesday (September 15-17) from 10:00 p.m. to 5 a.m. Westbound Route 422 between the Route 363 (Trooper Rd.) and Sanatoga exits, in Lower Providence, Upper Providence and Limerick townships, Montgomery County.Thursday (September 18) from 9:00 p.m. to 5 a.m.. Route 309 (both directions) in Hilltown and West Rockhill townships, Bucks County. On future dates over the next twelve months, the pavement markers will be installed on Interstate 95 and on Route 1 in lower Bucks County; on I-95, I-476 and routes 1 and 322 in Delaware County; and on I-95 in Philadelphia in the vicinity of Philadelphia International Airport. PennDOT is installing the markers to improve visibility and safety for drivers at night and in bad weather such as rain or fog. They are installed along center lines, edge lines and ramps. The markers more clearly define travel lanes and ramps, helping to prevent lane crossover. The devices supplement the reflective paint that is already used to designate highway lanes. Similar markers have been installed on many highways throughout Pennsylvania. It only takes a minute or less to install each marker, so it is possible to install about 66 markers per hour depending on the location. Each marker has a cast iron housing with a plastic reflector in the center. The devices measure 10 inches long by 5 ½ inches wide, and weigh about 5 ½ pounds each. Yellow reflectors are used for center lines, white reflectors are used for edge lines and two-color (red and white) reflectors are for exit and entrance ramps. The reflector is recessed below the surface of the housing and is designed to be snowplowable. Earlier this year, crews installed the markers on Routes 30, 401, 113, 202 and 252 in Chester County, Route 3 and Route 30 in Delaware County and I-76 and Route 23 in Montgomery County. D.W. Miller, Inc. of Huntingdon, Pa. is the contractor on the $421,347 project. The project is financed with federal and state funds.
