Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Project to Repair and
Resurface 26 Miles of State Highway in Chester County

10/10/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
Wednesday on a project to repair and resurface 26 miles of state highway in

Chester County.

"Resurfacing projects like this are an important part of investing in the
state's infrastructure," Governor Tom Wolf said. "These repairs will help
increase safety and improve efficiency on the roadways in Chester County."

Beginning Wednesday, October 11, through Thursday, October 12, from 7:00 PM
to
5:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 340 (West Kings Highway)
between Route 10 (Compass Road) and Business U.S. 30 in West Caln, West
Brandywine, Caln and Valley townships, for milling.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
zone
because slowdowns will occur. The contractor's schedule is dependent on the

weather.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) between the Delaware state line and U.S. 1 in

Avondale Borough and New Garden and London Grove townships;
• Route 472 (Lewisville Road/Hickory Hill Road) between Route 841
(Chesterville
Road) and Freese Road in Elk and East Nottingham townships;
• Valley Forge Road between Route 252 (Valley Forge Road) and Valley Forge
Park
in Tredyffrin Township;
• Worthington Road between Worthington Road and Newcomen Road in West
Pikeland
Township;
• Street Road between the Octorara Creek Bridge to Homeville Road in Upper
Oxford Township;
• Main Street/Green Street/Swan Road/Upper Valley Road between Route 372
(Main
Street) to the Atglen borough line; and
• Wagontown Road between Lyons Head Drive and Hatfield Road in West Caln
and
West Brandywine townships.

Work on the project is expected to be completed in summer 2018.

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.

contractor
on the $6,262,777 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds
