This project is totally unorganized! I spent an hour trying to find a way to get to my home on Gravel Hill Road. I complained to one of the workers that the detour signs were completely inadequate, and I was rebuffed and told that there were sufficient signs instructing people where to go. I followed some of these detours, and they just led to more closed entrances to County Line, and eventually …   more ›

Strathmann Drive Closed to Through Traffic

Township officials said the length of roadway between Gravel Hill and Churchville Roads will be closed to motorists until the end of November, as a stormwater culvert is replaced.

Crews are working to replace a crumbling stormwater culvert that runs under Strathmann Drive in the area between Mill Creek Road and Spring View Drive. Work on the project began earlier this week.  Township Manager Joe Golden said it is anticipated the project will take two months to complete. Signs are placed at the intersections of Strathmann and Gravel Hill Road as well as Strathmann and Churchville Road, alerting motorists to the closure. However, there are no barriers placed across the roadway, as for several residents travelling on this thoroughfare is the only way to access their home. On Friday, several cars could be seen driving up the road, only to be forced to make a U-Turn when they reached the fenced off section of roadway …

My prayers and sympathy go to that young mans family and his girlfriend. Several off my friends and coworkers travel that road every week. I never thought of it as an unsafe road but that's just my ignorance. It's very open and the speed limit is 45 so it's common to see people doing 55 even 60.   more ›
