PennDOT announced on May 18th that Plymouth Road had reopened during the morning in both directions between Rittenhouse Square and Butler Pike in Plymouth Meeting (Plymouth Township). The closure was due to a sink hole.

Northbound Plymouth Road was closed on Friday, May 3rd, following the discovery of the issue. On May 14th the closure was expanded to the southbound lane to allow for excavation activity.

PennDOT’s contractor used flowable fill to pack the void until an elevation was reached where the roadway base could be installed, followed by final paving.
