Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Route 100 (Pottstown Pike)
Safety Improvement Project in Chester County

2/13/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to
begin
Monday, February 19, on a project to improve traffic flow and safety along
a
6.3-mile section of Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) in Upper Uwchlan, West
Vincent,
East Nantmeal and South Coventry townships, Chester County.

"Improving vital infrastructure like Route 100 in Chester County will
include
modern safety enhancements to alleviate congestion and move traffic safely
through this critical corridor," Governor Tom Wolf said.

Over the next several months, crews will work to improve the stretch of
Route
100 (Pottstown Pike) between Garrison Drive and Route 23 (Ridge Road). The
scope of work includes resurfacing the corridor with an open-graded surface

treatment (NovaChip) to increase friction and reduce hydroplaning;
constructing
two shoulder-widening pull-offs; and installing pavement markings rumble
strips, and guiderail.

In addition, PennDOT's contractor will improve the intersection of Route
100
(Pottstown Pike) and Route 23 (Ridge Road) by constructing a dedicated
northbound left-turn lane as well as updating traffic signals.

Beginning Monday, February 19, through Friday, February 23, from 9:00 AM to

3:00 PM, motorists will encounter lane restrictions in both directions on
Route
100 (Pottstown Pike) between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road),
for
clearing operations.

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

Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the $5.6 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal
funds.
The entire project is scheduled to be completed in late summer.
