PennDOT Completes Old Skippack Road Roundabout, Reopens Old Skippack Road in Upper Salford Township
07/13/2023
King of Prussia, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today opened the newly built roundabout to improve travel and safety at the intersection of Old Skippack Road and Schwenksville Road/Shelly Road in Upper Salford Township, Montgomery County.
Work on this project began in September 2022 to construct a single-lane roundabout to enhance traffic flow through the intersection and installed new drainage facilities and roundabout lighting.
The purpose of the project was to reduce angle crashes and vehicular speeds; increase sight distance; and improve congestion through the intersection.
Allan Myers of Worcester, PA was the general contractor on the $1.59 million project, which was financed with 100% federal funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
For a complete list of construction projects impacting state-owned highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, visit the District 6 Traffic Bulletin.
