$53M construction project should mean delays on 309 in Bucks, Montgomery

Stacy Wescoe//October 25, 2019

Work will begin Monday on a $53.5 million project to repair a 9-mile stretch of Route 309 known as the Sellersville Bypass, an area which includes a heavily traveled business corridor and could impact commuters.

The work, which will run from Richland Township south to Hatfield will be performed by James D. Morrissey Inc., a Philadelphia general contractor.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said lane restrictions will be in place Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and possibly weeknights from 7 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. through mid-December.

The lane closures over the next several weeks will allow crews to reconstruct and pave the shoulders in order to shift traffic onto the temporary pavement before the end of the year under Stage 1 construction. Once the new pattern is in place, activities over the winter will include center median and inlet reconstruction in this southern section of the project limits.

The project is being financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
