PennDOT has announced that Township Line Road will closed and detoured approaching the U.S. 202 (Dekalb Pike) intersection beginning June 1st and is expected to be closed through June 21st. The closure will be in place 24-hours, seven days a week. The closure is necessary for roadway construction under a project to widen and reconstruct nearly three miles of U.S. 202 from south of Morris Road to Hancock Road in Whitpain and Lower Gwynedd townships.

During the closure, those using Township Line Road will be directed to use North Wales Road, Morris Road, and U.S. 202. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Under this U.S. 202 project (Section 65S), PennDOT will perform the following roadway and bridge improvements:

• Reconstruct and widen U.S. 202 from two lanes to five lanes with a center turn lane from Morris Road to Grasshopper Lane and from Schoolhouse Lane to Swedesford Road;
• Widen U.S. 202 from two lanes to four lanes with a mountable median curb from the Wissahickon Creek crossing to south of Schoolhouse Lane;
• Install five-foot bicycle lanes in both directions in the five-lane sections;
• Reconstruct the bridge over the Wissahickon Creek;
• Construct two sound walls and three retaining walls;
• Install new signals, signing and pavement markings;
• Perform drainage improvements;
• Integrate Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) to improve traffic flow;
• Reconstruct a wetland channel adjacent to Wissahickon Creek; and
• Reconstruct a stone wall adjacent to the Gwynedd Friends Meetinghouse property.
