Bridge Demolition On Route 422: What To Know

LOWER POTTSGROVE TOWNSHIP, PA — A bridge demolition will take place on Route 422 along the Montgomery and Chester County line, leading to new traffic patterns in the area and congestion for the coming weeks.

The demolition will take place on the westbound 422 near Sanatoga Road and Porter Road in Lower Pottsgrove and North Coventry.

The work will remove the middle sections of the bridge carrying 422 over Porter and Sanatoga roads. Traffic will continue to pass through on the completed outer sections of the roadway.

From Nov. 30 to Dec. 21, Sanatoga Road will be shut down 24 hours a day from High Street to Linfield Road.

From Nov. 30 to Dec. 13, from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., Porter Road will see periodic lane closures between High Street to Linfield Road.

And from Dec. 1 through Dec. 3, from 7 p.m to 7 a.m. overnight, the left lane will be shut down on 422 from the Santoga interchange to Hanover Street.

It's part of PennDOT's ongoing $83.6 million project to reconstruct 2.1 miles of the roadway.
