Morris Road Section to Be Temporarily Closed

Work is expected to begin Jan. 6.

A section of Morris Road in Towamencin Township will be periodically closed this month as crews replace a damaged stream culvert under the roadway.

The section of road is between Wentz Church Road and Bustard Road, according to a release from the township.

Work is expected to begin Monday.

Morris Road will be closed each day from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. during the weeks of Jan. 13 and Jan. 27, and it will be open to traffic at the end of each work day.  However, the road will be closed round-the-clock during the week of Jan. 20, township Manager Robert Ford said in the release.

A detour will be in effect using Wentz Church Road and Fischer Road.

As part of the project, a deteriorated corrugated metal pipe culvert will be replaced with a new 48-inch HDPE pipe culvert, including end walls.
