Fellowship Drive and Station Road North Intersection to Close Tuesday in
Concord Township, Delaware County

7/26/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The intersection of Fellowship Drive and Station Road North in Concord
Township, Delaware County, will close at approximately 9:00 AM on Monday,
August 7, for construction activities related to a roadway, maintenance and

environmental mitigation enhancement project, the Pennsylvania Department
of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The intersection closure will be
in
place through October 2018.

Motorists will be directed to use Concord Road, U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and

U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway). The south side of the Fellowship Drive and
U.S.
322 (Conchester Highway) Intersection will remain open.

During the 15-month closure, crews will complete excavation for the wetland

mitigation site currently under construction on the north side of U.S. 322
(Conchester Highway). The section of Fellowship Drive on the north side
also
will be rebuilt as part of the wetland mitigation project, which is being
done
in conjunction with the on-going improvement and widening of U.S. 322
(Conchester Highway).

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
(Conchester
Highway) 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 also realigning Station Road North to improve access to
the
new maintenance site and increasing the storage volume for an adjacent
storm
water basin; constructing a concrete arch structure and adjacent retaining
walls over an unnamed tributary to Webb Creek; upgrading guide rail, new
signing and pavement markings; and performing traffic signal adjustments at
the
U.S. 322 intersections with Station Road North and Fellowship Drive.

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

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

The entire project is expected to be completed in fall 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.
