U.S. 30 East Ramp to U.S. 202 North Restriction and Closure Scheduled for
Bridge Rehabilitations over Amtrak in Chester County

6/22/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Travel restrictions are scheduled next week on the ramp from eastbound U.S.

30/Exton Bypass to northbound U.S. 202 in East Whiteland and West Whiteland

townships, Chester County, for overhead bridge construction, the
Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule, which is weather dependent, is:

• Monday, June 26, through Thursday, June 29, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM,
lane
closures are scheduled on the ramp from eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to
northbound U.S. 202; and
• Monday, June 26, through Thursday, June 29, from 10:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, the ramp from eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to
northbound
U.S. 202 is scheduled to close. During construction, motorists will be
detoured
to the Business U.S. 30 exit, right on eastbound Business U.S. 30 and right

onto the ramp to northbound U.S. 202.

Eastbound U.S. 30 motorists should expect backups and slow moving traffic
when
approaching the ramp to northbound U.S. 202.

The ramp closure will allow PennDOT's contractor to complete installation
of
shielding on the underside of the northbound U.S. 202 bridge over Amtrak
and
the adjacent ramp, and begin demolition of half the bridge's concrete deck
and
parapets.

In addition to the closure, motorists are advised that one-of-the-two lanes
on
the ramp from southbound U.S. 202 to U.S. 30/Exton Bypass remain closed for
the
replacement of deteriorated concrete pavement. Southbound U.S. 202
motorists
will encounter backups approaching the U.S. 30 Interchange, especially
during
peak travel times. Drivers heading to the U.S. 30/Exton Bypass and Business

U.S. 30 should remain in the right lane on southbound U.S. 202 approaching
the
interchange, leaving the center and left lane for motorists continuing
south on
U.S. 202.

The work is part of a $26.4 million project to complete the final phase of
the
U.S. 202 Section 300 improvement project, which includes the rehabilitation
of
two U.S. 202 bridges over Amtrak rail lines.

Allan A Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
