    Utility Improvements Continue on Old Skippack Road Roundabout Project in Upper Salford Township

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that utility construction will continue under the project to build a roundabout at the intersection of Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road in Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County. 

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
    • Monday, March 6, through Sunday, April 30, a 24/7 closure is scheduled on Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road at the intersection with Old Skippack Road. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike/Main Street), Route 113 (Harleysville Pike), Salfordville Road, Haldeman Road, and Lederach Road. Old Skippack Road will remain open during this stage of construction; and
    • Monday, May 1, through Thursday, July 13, a 24/7 closure is scheduled on Old Skippack Road at the Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road intersection. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Route 63 (Sumneytown Pike/Main Street), Route 113 (Harleysville Pike), Salfordville Road, Haldeman Road, and Lederach Road. 
    Local access will be maintained up to the work zone. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent. 

    Under this improvement project, PennDOT will construct a single-lane roundabout to enhance traffic flow through the intersection and install new drainage facilities and roundabout lighting.

    The purpose of the project is to reduce angle crashes and vehicular speeds; increase sight distance; and improve congestion through the intersection. 

    Allan Myers of Worcester, PA, is the general contractor on the $1.59 million project, which is financed with 100% federal funds. The entire project is expected to finish in summer 2023.
