Closure of Route 76 at 476 (Blue Route; Conshohocken) will likely cause gridlock along 76 which could result in major traffic congestion of local highways including Routes 422 and 29. Major congestion could also occur on Bridge Street in Downtown Phoenixville; Route 23, including the Valley Park Road detour; and Route 113, as locals attempt to avoid Route 422.
Pennsylvania State Police have been working with their counterparts from New Jersey west to Ohio, and New York south to Virginia to notify commercial trucks to avoid southeast PA from 9/24-9/28, if possible. This, combined with heavy traffic congestion and major highway closures, could affect deliveries to local businesses, including restaurants and grocery stores.
#WalkTheWeekendPXV We would like to encourage people to prep in advance and find something local to do. As of right now two events are scheduled in town that weekend that are fun for the whole family.
