U.S. 322 Daytime Restrictions Next Week for Improvement Project in Concord
Township, Delaware County

8/10/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime lane closures are scheduled next week on U.S. 322 (Conchester
Highway)
from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Clayton Park Drive in Concord
Township, Delaware County, for construction related to a project to improve
and
widen the highway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced today.

On Sunday, August 13, through Friday, August 18, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
flaggers will direct an alternating single lane of traffic on U.S. 322
(Conchester Highway) through various work areas along the 2.6-mile
construction
zone.

Motorists should expect delays on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) and on
northbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) approaching U.S. 322 (Conchester
Highway),
allow extra time for travel through the work areas, or use an alternate
route.
All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

PennDOT began construction March 20, on the first-of-two mainline projects
to
widen and reconstruct a 6.7-mile section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway)
from
U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Route 452 (Market Street) in
Concord,
Bethel and Upper Chichester townships, Delaware County.

Work on the first mainline section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) is
scheduled to be completed in late 2020.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.

Engineering design is advancing for the widening and reconstruction of the
eastern section (Section 102) of the highway from just east of Clayton Park

Drive to just east of Route 452 (Market Street). Construction on this
section
is expected to start in 2019.

An additional contract to replace the U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) bridge
over
the CSX railroad and Bethel Road as well as improvements to the adjacent
Bethel
Road Interchange is under design.
