PennDOT has announced that Edge Hill Road and Bradfield Road are scheduled to close in Abington Township from Monday, March 22nd through Thursday, April 22nd, for paving operations. The work is part of a project to improve safety and travel on Tyson Avenue, Edge Hill Road, Jenkintown Road, and several adjacent township roads.

The work locations are:

• Edge Hill Road is scheduled to close between Jenkintown Road and Easton Road; and
• Bradfield Road is scheduled to close between Tyson Avenue and Edge Hill Road.

During the 24-hour closures, Edge Hill Road and Bradfield Road motorists will be directed to use Easton Road and Tyson Avenue. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Under this project, PennDOT is reconstructing Edge Hill Road and Tyson Avenue to improve safety by incorporating curbing, parking lanes, sidewalks, new signing, and signalized intersection improvements. The project also includes upgrades to Jenkintown Road and several adjacent township roads including Ardsley Avenue, Edgecomb Road, Custer Avenue and Bradfield Road. In addition to safety improvements, flooding concerns will be addressed through extensive drainage improvements and green stormwater practices.

After construction, Edge Hill Road will be converted to a one-way road carrying eastbound traffic only from Jenkintown Road to Bradfield Road and will remain a two-way road from Bradfield Road to Route 611 (Easton Road). Tyson Avenue will continue to carry two-way traffic through the project limits.
