The road's intersection with Route 23 in West Conshohocken, enhancing "travel and safety," has been completed.
Traffic in the Conshohocken area just got a little easier with the opening of Balligomingo Road in West Conshohocken, which had been closed for realignment since June of last year. The road was detoured at Route 23 in West Conshohocken as part of a $4.8 million project to rebuild Route 23 and realign 600 feet of Ballligomingo Road by moving it 400 feet to the west, creating a new "T" intersection at Route 23. The new signalized intersection will "enhance travel in the immediate area" and provides motorists with full access to both roadways, according to PennDOT.

3 p.m. Update: Voter turnout is particularly slow in Plymouth, Whitemarsh and Conshohocken today, according to several poll workers.
