NORRISTOWN, PA – The Montgomery County Planning Commission announced today that starting Wednesday, March 8, 2023, single lane road closures will be in effect on Ridge Pike.

Lane closures will be in effect 24/7 with construction occurring between the hours of 6:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. This lane closure will be a permanent configuration in effect through May 2023.
The County’s contractor Allan Myers will coordinate any driveway adjustments with homeowners and businesses to minimize their impacts during the hours of construction.
