King of Prussia, PA – Motorists will encounter lane restrictions on several state highways in Montgomery County, including Route 113 (South Trappe Road), on Monday, December 7, though Friday, December 11, for milling and paving operations, as part of a project to repair and resurface more than 35 miles of state highway in Montgomery County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedules and locations are:

• Route 113 (South Trappe Road) between Trappe Road and Mennonite Road in Upper Providence Township, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM;
• Egypt Road between Port Indian Road and Juniata Road in West Norriton Township, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM; and
• Conshohocken Road/West Elm Street between Colwell Lane and Tee's Boulevard in the Borough of Conshohocken, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surfaces and repaving the state highways using bituminous material and applying roadway enhancements when warranted, such as pavement markings, base repair, and rumble strips. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
