Road Paving, Milling This Week In Cheltenham

CHELTENHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — A road paving project begins Monday on several township roads and lasts throughout the week, PennDOT said.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said that resurfacing operations are planned this week on several state highways in Montgomery County and the Philadelphia region under multiple ongoing contracts to repair, resurface, and improve more than 240 miles of state highways across the five-county region.

Drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Monday, Aug. 31, through Friday, Sept. 4, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure with flagging will be in place on Ashbourne Road/Montgomery Avenue/Central Avenue between Washington Lane and Route 73 (Cottman Avenue) in Cheltenham Township for milling, paving, and utility adjustments.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

PennDOT’s contractors are repairing, milling, and repaving state highways with new asphalt pavement that will seal roadways and provide motorists with a safer and smoother riding surface.
