U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) Nighttime Lane Restrictions Scheduled for
Resurfacing in Chester County

5/1/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Nighttime lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on a three-mile
section
of U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) between Dilworthtown Road and the U.S. 202
Expressway Interchange in Westtown, West Goshen, Thornbury and Birmingham
townships, on Monday, May 1, through early June, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM,
Sundays through Thursdays, for milling and paving operations, the
Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

In addition, nighttime lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on
Route
926 (Street Road) between Cheyney Road and Route 3 (West Chester Pike) in
Willistown, Westtown, and Thornbury townships, through Thursday, May 4,
from
7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for paving.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling these work zones
because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's schedule
is
dependent on the weather.

This work is part of a $3.4 million project to repair and resurface over 13

miles of state highway in Chester County.

As part of this project, crews resurfaced Birmingham Road between Route 52
(Lenape Road) and Route 842 (Miner Street) in East Bradford Township; Route
842
(Creek Road/West Miner Street) between Brandywine Creek and South High
Street
in East Bradford Township and West Chester Borough; and Route 401
(Conestoga
Road) between French Bridge and Iron Stone Lane in West Nantmeal Township.

The additional state highways to be repaired and resurfaced under this
contract
are:

• The eastbound and westbound ramps from Route 82 (Manor Road) to the U.S.
30
Bypass in Valley Township; and
• The eastbound and westbound ramps Reeceville Road to the U.S. 30 Bypass
in
Caln Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill off the existing roadway
surface and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement
will
seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface. All

work on the project is expected to be completed in July 2017.

Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the $3,385,777 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds
from
Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.
