Five-Minute Traffic Stoppages Scheduled on U.S. 322, Concord Road and
Station Road for Construction Activities in Delaware County

4/27/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Five-minute traffic stoppages will start next week on U.S. 322 (Conchester
Highway), Concord Road and Station Road in Concord Township, Delaware
County,
for construction activities related to a $7.3 million roadway, maintenance
and
environmental mitigation enhancement project, the Pennsylvania Department
of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Sometime between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM on Monday, May 1, Thursday, May 4,
Tuesday, May 9, and Friday, May 12, there will be one five-minute traffic
stoppage each day scheduled simultaneously at the following locations:

• U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) between Station Road and Spring Valley
Road;
• Concord Road between Station Road and Spring Valley Road; and
• Station Road between U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) and Concord Road.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area.
All
construction activities are weather dependent.

Under this enhancement project, PennDOT is building a pad site for the
future
maintenance facility to be located on Station Road North near the
intersection
with U.S. 322 in Concord Township. This facility will replace the existing
PennDOT maintenance facility on Route 261 (Foulk Road) at the U.S. 322
Interchange in Bethel Township, which will be removed for the widening of
U.S.
322.

The contractor is realigning Station Road North to improve access to the
new
maintenance site and increase the storage volume for an adjacent storm
water
basin. Additional roadway improvements to be made under this project
include
the construction of a concrete arch structure and adjacent retaining walls
over
an unnamed tributary to Webb Creek; guide rail upgrades; new signing and
pavement markings; and traffic signal adjustments at U.S. 322's
intersection
with Station Road North and Fellowship Drive.

In addition to construction, PennDOT's contractor is creating 2.33 acres of
new
wetlands to expand an existing wetland site in Thornbury Township, Delaware

County, to compensate for unavoidable impacts to existing wetlands along
the
U.S. 322 corridor.

Construction is expected to finish in October 2018.

Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor
on
the $7,343,510 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20
percent
state funds.

Construction to rebuild and widen U.S. 322 from two lanes to four lanes
from
U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Clayton Park Drive began in March
2017.
Work to widen the eastern half of U.S. 322 to just east of the Route 452
(Market Street) Interchange is expected to start in 2019.
