What Residents Should Know

To accommodate the park opening and 5K events, Royersford Borough officials said 2nd Avenue between Washington and Arch Streets will be closed from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

While the Pennhurst campus is located in East Vincent Township, the event has contributed to heavy traffic in Royersford and Spring City in previous years.

Drivers traveling through the area on Saturday morning and early afternoon should expect heavier-than-normal traffic and possible delays.
