A portion of Route 202 in King of Prussia is closed once again for sinkhole repairs, PennDOT announced on Wednesday.
PennDOT announced the closure on Wednesday after a"depression" was found inside the pavement of the northbound lanes.
The left lane on the southbound side of the roadway was also closed between Henderson Road and Saulin Boulevard in Upper Merion Township through Thursday as crews work to repair the pavement.On Thursday, PennDOT spokesperson Brad Rudolph said on Thursday that they would need a lane in each direction"to assess the damage and to pinpoint where the open void of the sinkhole is located before backfilling the hole with flowable fill, installing a subbase and binder and paving the roadway.
The contractor hired by PennDOT is expected to"pinpoint the open void; backfill the hole to pavement elevation using flowable fill; install a subbase and binder; and pave and restripe the highway to safely reopen it to traffic," according to a statement from the agency. Access will remain open for residents and businesses in the area, but drivers are being urged to leave extra time for travel due to delays. However, on Thursday morning, traffic seemed to be moving OK, Rudolph said.University of Idaho murder suspect says cellphone data proves he was out driving at the time of deaths
