Daytime Lane Restrictions Scheduled Friday for High-Friction Resurfacing
Operations in Chester County

10/31/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane restrictions are scheduled on Kaolin Road between Ewart Road and the
bridge over Red Clay Creek in New Garden and Kennett townships, Chester
County,
on Friday, November 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for high-friction
resurfacing
operations and line striping as part of an 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 the work
zones
because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's schedule
is
dependent on the weather.

The high-friction surface treatment will provide increased friction and
grip on
pavements in wet and dry conditions.

Additional state highway scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Westtown Thornton Road from the Delaware County line to Route 926 (Street

Road) in Thornbury Township.

State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:

• Birmingham Road between Old Wilmington Pike and Route 52 (Lenape Road) in

Birmingham and East Bradford townships;
• High Street between U.S. 202 and Route 52 (Price Street) in West Chester
Borough and West Goshen Township;
• Route 926 (Street Road) between U.S. 202 and Cheyney Road in Westtown and

Thornbury townships;
• Red Lion Road from just south of Lenape Unionville Road to Marlborough
Road
in Pocopson Township;
• Route 842 (Unionville Wawaset Road) between Route 82 (Doe Run Road) and
Bridge Road in Pocopson, Newlin and East Marlborough townships;
• Lenape Unionville Road from just west of Red Lion Road to just west of
Route
52 (Lenape Road) in Pocopson Township; and
• Fernhill Road between Phoenixville Pike and Paoli Pike in West Goshen
Township.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway
surface
and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will
seal
the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in mid-November.

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.
