U.S. 202 South Early Morning Lane Closures Next Two Saturdays in Chester County

U.S. 202 South Early Morning Lane Closures Next Two Saturdays in Chester
County

9/8/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Early morning travel restrictions are scheduled the next two Saturdays on
U.S.
202 south in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, for the connection of
a
new fiber optic line for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
components,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

On Saturday, September 10, and again on Saturday, September 17, from 5:00
AM to
10:00 AM, U.S. 202 south will be reduced from three lanes to two between
the
Route 401 and U.S. 30 interchanges as crews splice the new 144-strand line
into
the ITS system.

The former 24-strand line was installed above ground on poles approximately
15
years ago with the original ITS installations on U.S. 202. The new line,
which
was placed in underground conduit, will better serve the operation of
highway
cameras, dynamic message boards, travel time readers and other ITS
components
in place on U.S. 202 in Chester County.

This operation is part of the recently completed $63.3 million project to
widen
and reconstruct 2.5 miles of the expressway from north of Route 401 to U.S.
30,
and to rebuild and improve the Route 401 Interchange. PennDOT opened this
newly
expanded section of U.S. 202 to six lanes on August 3, 2016.

Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor.

The contractor's schedule is weather dependent, and motorists are advised
to
allow additional time for travel and use extra care when driving through
the
work zone.
