Multiple roads remain closed throughout the Township, but roadways are slowly reopening as Public Works crews make progress clearing trees from roadways.
In some instances, wires are tangled in downed trees and Public Works crews are waiting for PECO to clear the wires so trees can be safely removed.
Several utility poles are down on Union Meeting Road and PECO expects a prolonged closure as their crews work to clear and install new utility poles.
The Township declared an emergency at 4:15 p.m. and opened the Emergency Operations Center.
