CHANGE IN TRAFFIC PATTERNS NOVEMBER 4, 2009. 

See News link.

The U.S. Route 22, Section B09 Project was let on September 13, 2007. Golden Triangle Construction was the low bidder and was awarded the project for a contract amount of $19,588,000. Nearly 1.9 miles of the existing three and four lane roadway will be restored to four 12-foot lanes with an 18-foot non-traversable concrete median/glare screen. The project is located between the Rt. 22/S.R. 982 intersection and extends to the Rt. 22/ Auction Barn Road (T-693) intersection. A traffic signal will be installed at the S.R. 982 intersection. Openings in the median will be created to allow for left turns where appropriate.

The reconstruction of U.S. Route 22, Section B09 will impact 0.19 acres of wetlands, which will be replaced as part of the Section B08 construction contract.   The wetland mitigation site is located on property owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Derry Township.

Construction activities are expected to slow traffic in the project area, especially during peak traffic times. No detours are planned, and access to local businesses and residences will be maintained during construction. Construction is expected to require 24 months (to be completed in Fall 2010).
