Washington Ln Lane Closure

Washington Lane, between Walnut Street and Township Line Road, will have intermittent lane closures from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM, tomorrow, September 4th. These lane closures will take place to allow for Public Works Department to repair pot holes along Washington Lane.

Due to the milling and paving operations, one lane of traffic will have intermittent closures. Residents in the area will have access to their driveways during the milling operation, however there may be temporary delays in driveway access during the paving operation. The Borough anticipates this project being completed by 3PM on Wednesday.

Please make plans to take an alternate route to avoid further disruption of your travels. Thank you for your patience and understanding while these necessary improvements are made. Should you have any questions, please contact Borough Hall at (215) 885-0700. Thank you
