PECO to Close Eastbound King Street in Pottstown for Utility Upgrades

Attention, Pottstown residents! Beginning Wednesday, September 4th, a significant portion of King Street in the eastbound direction will be undergoing a major transformation. PECO Energy is set to commence utility construction that will necessitate the closure of this key thoroughfare. This essential work is scheduled to continue through Friday, November 1st, with the daily closure in effect from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays.

This closure will impact the stretch of King Street between Route 100 and Shoemaker Road. During these hours, eastbound traffic will be redirected through alternative routes. Motorists are advised to use Berks Street, Route 663 (High Street), and Manatawny Street as detour routes to bypass the construction zone. Despite the inconvenience, local access to businesses and residences up to the work area will be maintained, ensuring that essential services remain reachable.
