U.S. 322 Daytime Lane Closures for Widening Project in Concord Township, Delaware County

U.S. 322 Daytime Lane Closures for Widening Project in Concord Township,
Delaware County

12/14/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime lane closures will be in place intermittently through most of next
year
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.

Weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and possibly Saturdays from 7:00 AM to
7:00
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. These operations will continue through late fall 2018.

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.

Construction began in spring 2017 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. The project 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 bids on this
section are expected to open in late 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.
