The Montgomery County Commissioners announced today that the ongoing underground PECO utility construction on Alan Wood Road through the intersection with Ridge Pike in Plymouth Township will continue through mid-January due to delays.
The work will take place from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM on weekday nights and will require intermittent lane closures on Alan Wood Road and Ridge Pike for the duration of the work.
The work includes installing a new PECO duct bank 12 feet below the roadway, which will be completed working from north-to-south starting at the jug handle at the intersection of Ridge Pike and Alan Wood Road.
Installation of the new duct bank will clear the path for the completion of a new sanitary sewer through the intersection.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work zone because backups and delays may occur. Steel plates will cover the trench on Alan Wood Road and on Ridge Pike at the intersection during non-working hours. Motorists are advised to maintain a safe travel speed through the work zone due to the presence of the steel plates.
