Route 842 (Unionville Wawaset Road) Weekday Lane Restrictions Scheduled for
Resurfacing in Chester County

7/6/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Weekday 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, on Monday, July 10, through Friday, July 14, from
6:00
AM to 6:00 PM, for milling and paving operations as part of a $3.7 million
improvement project to repair and resurface 19 miles of state highway in
Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced today.

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 Cheyney
Thornton 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 Marlborough
Road
in Pocopson Township; and
• Kaolin Road between Ewart Road and the bridge over Red Clay Creek in New
Garden and Kennett townships.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in late October.

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.
