Thanks!

Hi Gwen,
We are working with PennDOT to move a sewer force main on Meeting House Road. Even though it is a PennDOT project, the Township must pay 50% of the cost to move this 2-inch force main. PennDOT's contractor came up with an estimate of $80,000. The LGT Municipal Authority's engineer received estimates for about half that amount. Obviously it is in our interest and PennDOT's to have this work done under a Township Municipal Authority contract. That will delay the project a bit but it will result in a substantial saving. I'm afraid I can't do anything about the utility problem. PECO, Comcast and Verizon are on their own schedule due to manpower. If I can provide additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Dear Kate and Larry,
I hope all is well with both of you. Below was PennDOT'S response that I received through Senator Greenleaf's office concerning the status of construction in our area. It seems that a force main (indicated that this was a township responsibility) on Evans and utility poles on 202 could affect completion dates. Gwynedd Knoll has been notified of this concern. We would be appreciative of your efforts, as well as Senator Greenleaf, to ensure that these obstacles are addressed quickly so this project can be completed in a timely fashion.
We look forward to your reply.
Best wishes,
Gwen Douse

Patty,
Hopefully this will help. A little tough to read but I darkened the general work areas for each project. SR 2016-OFF is the Meetinghouse Road realignment as well as other intersection improvements along Evans Road. This is scheduled to be complete toward the end of summer. Currently have an issue with an unforeseen Township force main. We need the Twp. to relocate in a timely manner or the completion date could be affected. The other project is SR 202-65N. This is primarily the widening of 202 from south of Hancock up past Welsh Road. There is other work on Welsh and north on 202 up to 309 as well. This project is heavily dependent on utility relocation. The contractor has been doing his best to work around the utilities but they are affecting the project. The amount of work the utilities complete over the next month is critical and may have an impact on the completion of the project. Right now it is scheduled for a mid-2012 completion. If you need anything else please let me know.
