🚧 Baptist Road Reconstruction Project – Frequently Asked Questions

Who is managing this project?
This is a PennDOT project. Questions or concerns should be directed to PennDOT at 1-800-FIX-ROAD or their online customer care center (attached). Additional project information will be released as the start date approaches.

What work is being done?
The project includes drainage upgrades, new concrete curb and gutter installation, and full-depth roadway reconstruction on Baptist Road between Brownsville Road and Hamilton Road.

What is the new start date?
PennDOT moved the start date to the week of July 6 to not impact Caste Village Fireworks. The contractor will perform limited site work between June 16 and July 6, 2026.

Will Baptist Road remain open?
Yes. Baptist Road will be reduced to a single lane, 24 hours a day. Eastbound traffic (toward Brownsville Road) will remain open throughout construction.

What about westbound traffic?
Westbound traffic (toward Weyman Road) will be detoured 24 hours a day. Phase 1 detour will use Provost Road and Weyman Road.

Why isn’t the work being performed overnight?
Overnight work is often used to reduce traffic impacts during peak commuting hours. However, due to the size and complexity of the Baptist Road Reconstruction Project, traffic restrictions, lane closures, and detour routes will need to remain in place 24 hours a day throughout construction. As a result, performing the work overnight would not significantly reduce the overall impact on traffic.

What about emergency vehicles access?
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained throughout the project. Police, fire, and EMS are working with PennDOT and the contractor to minimize impacts to emergency services

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as this important infrastructure project moves forward.

The tentative start date for the project is now the week of July 6, 2026.

Please note that A. Folino Construction will perform limited site work between June 16 and July 6, which may result in intermittent lane closures or traffic restrictions on Baptist Road during daylight working hours.

Beginning July 6, a single eastbound travel lane will be in effect 24 hours a day until Phase 1 of the project is completed.

Construction activities will generally occur Monday through Friday during daylight hours.

We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as these important roadway improvements move forward. Additional updates will be provided as they become available.
