THE PARTNERSHIP TMA ROADWORK UPDATE FOR
THE WEEK OF MARCH 15 2010
MUNICIPAL MANAGERS/PUBLIC WORKS LUNCHEON SET FOR MARCH 30
The Partnership TMA invites municipal managers and their administrative assistants and public works directors for a complimentary luncheon on Tuesday, March 30 at noon. The meeting, held at The William Penn Inn, will update our member townships and boroughs on recent developments with the TMA.
Also, Ed Burns, a construction supervisor at PennDOT will give a recap of roadwork and bridge projects slated for 2010.
RSVP to 215-699-2733 or info@ptma-mc.org.
TIPS OF THE WEEK
· Beginning March 15, PennDOT will extend the express lane traffic pattern on I-476 moving one lane of southbound traffic to the opposite side of the highway from the Mid-County interchange to the I-76 interchange. The switch is expected for two years.
· From March 15 – 17, westbound I-76 will be reduced to one lane between Gulph Mills and Route 202 for the installation of concrete barrier between 10:00pm and 5:00am.
· From March 17 – June 15, Rockledge Borough will reduce Route 232 to one lane between Central Avenue and Shady Lane for extensive streetscape renovations weekdays between 9:00am to 3:00pm.
· PennDOT advises motorists of the dangers of driving while sleepy. Daylight Savings Time resulted in an hour “lost” for local residents. In a five-year period ending in 2009, there were 11,385 crashes and 110 fatalities involving fatigued drivers statewide. The peak hours for drowsy driving are 6:00am to 8:00am.
· Beginning March 19, Fretz Road will be closed and detoured between Wambold Road and Tomlinson Road in Lower Salford, Towamencin and Hatfield Twps for Route 309 Connector work through May 7.
The following is more detailed information on roadwork in Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties followed by information on Route 309. If you would like information on other counties, please email us at mobilitymanager@ptma-mc.org
