The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that the right lane will be closed on westbound and eastbound U.S. Route 422 between Route 23 and Route 363 (Trooper Road) in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, next week (Dec. 16-18) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for structural steel repair on the bridge over the Schuylkill River and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks.
