PennDOT to Begin Resurfacing Project on Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) in Upper Dublin, Whitemarsh, Springfield Townships

King of Prussia, PA- The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on a project to repair and resurface a section of Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) in Upper Dublin, Whitemarsh, and Springfield townships, Montgomery County.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor will resurface 10 miles of Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) and associated ramps using bituminous material. The new pavement will seal the roadway and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

Beginning Monday, August 12, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, August 12, through mid-October, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, periodic nighttime lane closures are scheduled in both directions on Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) between the Susquehanna Road and the Springfield interchanges for milling and paving. Approximate location is between Loch Alsh Avenue and Haws Lane.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The other locations scheduled for resurfacing under this project are:

• Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) ramps at the Route 73 (Church Road) Interchange.
• Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) ramps at the Pennsylvania Turnpike Interchange.
• Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) ramps at the Highland Avenue Interchange.
• Route 309 (Fort Washington Expressway) collector road between the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Highland Avenue interchanges.

James D. Morrissey, Inc. of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
