63491 | US 202, Morris Road to Swedesford Road (65S) (Whitpain Township, Lower Gwynedd Township & Upper Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County)

This project provides for the widening of US 202 from 2 lanes to 5 lanes in this 2.6 mile section. Add a center turn lane where required and a new bridge over the Wissahickon Creek with a wider single-span structure and equestrian path beneath the roadway. The project includes intersection improvements at Morris Rd., Sumneytown Pk., and Swedesford Rd. A coordinated ITS and traffic signal operating system will be integrated into the project. Bike lanes adjacent to the outside travel lane will be provided in both the northbound and southbound directions. This section is designed under section 650. Section 600 was designed in two sections (Section 610 and 650) and will be built in four sections: Johnson Highway to Township Line Road; Township Line Road to Morris Road; Morris Rd. to Swedesford; Swedesford Road to PA 309. See MPMS #16755 for the design section. See MPMS #'s 63491, 63486, and 63490 for construction sections.
In the DVRPC region, US 202 covers 61 miles, traversing 27 municipalities in Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties. For planning purposes, US 202 has been divided into seven major sections (100 through 700), and some of those sections have been broken down further to simplify construction management.
Project CMP (Congestion Management Process) commitments include strategies such as improvements for transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers on the existing road network (operations). See DVRPC’s 2007 annual memoranda on supplemental strategies for details related to this project.
