Wolf Administration Announces Project to Improve Safety on Route 41 (Gap
Newport Pike) in London Grove Township, Chester County

9/11/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
on Tuesday, September 12, on a project to improve travel and safety along
Route
41 (Gap Newport Pike) on the approach to the Route 841 (Chatham Road)
Intersection by constructing a gateway at the north and south ends of the
Village of Chatham in London Grove Township, Chester County. The project is

scheduled to be completed in late December.

"The goal of this project is to slow down traffic as it enters the Chatham
Historic District which is centered around the intersection of Route 41 and

Route 841," Governor Tom Wolf said. "The safety measures implemented along
this
corridor will help save lives by reducing speeds and crashes."

As part of the construction, a single lane closure with flagging is
scheduled
in both directions on Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) between Mosquito Lane and

Pennock Lane and between London Grove Road and Penwyck Lane on Tuesday,
September 12, through Friday, September 15, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for
tree
clearing operations.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
areas
because backups and delays will occur. The work schedule is weather
dependent.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is widening pavement to provide a
curbed median that will serve as a gateway to the village; updating
signing,
pavement markings and drainage; and installing new guide rail.

This is the first of three projects that PennDOT is advancing to
construction
to improve travel and safety on Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) in Londonderry
and
London Grove townships. The Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike)/Route 841 (Chatham
Road) and Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike)/Route 926 (Street Road) intersection
improvement projects are currently in preliminary design.

Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor
on
the $1,066,126 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20
percent
state funds.
