Wells Road in Doylestown Township to be Closed and Detoured
for 13 Months for
Route 202 Parkway Construction
Wells Road in
Doylestown Township, Bucks County, will be closed to through
traffic and detoured for approximately 13 months beginning
Monday, June 28 for construction of the new Route 202
Parkway.
The closure of
Wells Road, which will extend between Lower State Road and
Turk Road, will allow crews to build a bridge over the
Parkway and reconstruct Wells Road approaching the new
structure. Wells Road will remain open to local traffic
between Lower State Road and Valley Circle, and from Turk
Road to Radcliff Drive. Non-truck traffic will be detoured
along Lower State Road, New Britain Road, Sauerman Road and
Turk Road. Due to a weight-restricted bridge on Turk Road
near Sauerman Road, trucks will be detoured along Lower
State Road, New Britain Road, Easton Road, Edison Furlong
Road, Quarry Road and Turk Road. The detour is scheduled
to remain in place until August 2011. The work on Wells Road
is part of the $42.2 million contract to build the northern
section of the Route 202 Parkway between Pickertown Road in
Warrington Township and Route 611 in Doylestown Township.
Additional information on the Route 202 Parkway is available
online at

PennDOT reminds
