Jenkintown Borough recently announced that a scheduled road closure of the 800 block of Homestead Road will begin March 30 between 4:00am and 6:00am and continue through Friday, March 31 at 5:00pm. 

The road will be closed to through-traffic from York Road to Vernon Road as well as Cottman Street from the driveway exit of 428 York Road (Jenkintown Center Shopping Center) to Homestead Road. The closure has been scheduled by the Property Owner(s) of 821 Homestead Road so their contractors who will be transporting large equipment will be able to safely access the site to unload the equipment.
 
There will be no parking on Homestead Road, beginning March 29 and continuing for the duration of this road closure.

In addition to the closing of Homestead Road, there will be intermittent delays on York Road tomorrow, March 30 and Friday, March 31 between 10:00am and 2:00pm to allow for the transportation of the equipment safely to the site at 821 Homestead Road. The travel of the equipment and delays on York Road have been reviewed and approved by PennDOT.

The Borough asks residents and commuters to avoid the area during these times and make plans to take an alternative route.
