PennDOT Update on the Old Skippack & Shelly/Schwenksville Road Intersection

UPDATE 4/28/23: The Township was notified that there will be contractors working night shift on Tuesday night, May 2nd, and the work is expected to last for only one night. Local residents adjacent to the project will be notified.

Work is continuing for PennDOT’s Roundabout project at the intersection of Schwenksville/Shelly/Old Skippack.

Latest update: Stage 1 Detour will start on March 6, 2023 – Shelly Road & Schwenksville Roads will be closed. Stage 2 Detour will start on May 1^st, 2023 – Old Skippack Road will be closed. Current anticipated reopening of the intersection is scheduled for July 13, 2023.

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. Under this improvement project, PennDOT will construct a single-lane roundabout to enhance traffic flow through the intersection and install new drainage facilities and roundabout lighting. The purpose of the project is to reduce angle crashes and vehicular speeds; increase sight distance; and improve congestion through the intersection. Due to the nature of the construction, a traffic detour will be utilized once the project moves from utility construction to roadway construction. MEDIA CONTACT: Krys Johnson, 610-205-6797
