A two-year project that will improve a busy intersection in Berks County is set to get underway Wednesday.
Work on the Route 61 and Tuckerton Road interchange in Muhlenberg Township was set to begin Jan. 22, but it was delayed because of inclement weather.
Starting Wednesday, Route 61 motorists should allow extra time to pass through the area as they encounter changing traffic patterns and sporadic lane restrictions between Huller Lane and Witman Road, according to PennDOT.
The nearly $9 million project includes widening Route 61 for a second through lane northbound and southbound, adding a second left-turn lane from eastbound Tuckerton Road to Route 61 North and adding a right-turn lane from westbound Tuckerton Road to Route 61 South, officials said.
Traffic signals will also be upgraded and drainage improved at the intersection, which averages nearly 18,000 vehicles passing through it each day, according to PennDOT.
The work is expected to be complete in May 2017.
