Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Improvement Project to
Resurface 19 Miles of State Highway in Chester County

6/30/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
next week on an improvement project to repair and resurface 19 miles of
state
highway in Chester County. Work on the project is expected to be completed
in
late October.

"We are making a concerted effort this construction season to resurface
more
highways to provide motorists with smoother and safer rides to and from
their
destinations," Governor Tom Wolf said. "It is these types of investments to

improve our transportation network that will greatly benefit local
economies."

Beginning on Thursday, July 7, and Friday, July 8, from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM,

lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 842 (Unionville Wawaset Road)
between
Route 82 (Doe Run Road) and Bridge Road in Pocopson, Newlin and East
Marlborough townships, for milling.

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

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Route 926 (Street Road) between U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and Cheney
Road in
Westtown and Thornbury townships;
• Birmingham Road between Old Wilmington Pike and Route 52 (Lenape Road) in

Birmingham and East Bradford townships;
• High Street between U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and Route 52 (Price
Street) in
West Chester Borough and West Goshen Township;
• Westtown Thornton Road from the Delaware County line to Route 926 (Street

Road) in Thornbury Township;
• Fernhill Road between Phoenixville Pike and Paoli Pike in West Goshen
Township;
• Lenape Unionville Road from just west of Red Lion Road to just west of
Route
52 (Lenape Road) in Pocopson Township;
• Red Lion Road from just south of Lenape Unionville Road to Marlboro Road
in
Pocopson Township; and
• Kaolin Road between Ewart Road and Red Clay Creek Bridge in New Garden
and
Kennett townships.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill 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.

Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the $3,785,100 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
