U.S. 202 Lane, Ramp Closures at Night Next Week for Bridge Construction in
Chester County

3/2/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Northbound U.S. 202 will be reduced to a single lane and two ramps at the
U.S.
202 and U.S. 30/Exton Bypass Interchange will be closed at night next week
in
East and West Whiteland townships, Chester County, for overhead bridge
construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced
today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, March 5, through Friday, March 9, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, and until 10:00 AM Saturday, March 10, northbound U.S.
202
will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one between the Boot Road and Route 401
interchanges;

• Tuesday, March 6, through Friday, March 9, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, and until 10:00 AM Saturday, March 10, the ramp from
northbound U.S. 202 to Business U.S. 30 will be closed. Motorists normally
using the ramp will be directed to use northbound U.S. 202 to the Route 401

Interchange, then turn right on Route 401 (Conestoga Road) to reach
Business
U.S. 30; and

• Tuesday, March 6, through Friday, March 9, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 AM the
following morning, and until 10:00 AM Saturday, March 10, the ramp from
eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to northbound U.S. 202 will be closed.
Motorists will be directed to use the Business U.S. 30 exit, turn right on
eastbound Business U.S. 30, and right onto the ramp to northbound U.S. 202.

The restrictions will allow the contractor to complete the installation of
shielding from the underside of the northbound U.S. 202 bridge over the
ramp
and adjacent Amtrak rail lines, and continue demolition of outer half the
bridge's concrete deck and parapets.

Eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass and northbound U.S. 202 motorists should
expect
delays and slow moving traffic when approaching the work area. All
scheduled
activities are weather dependent.

PennDOT completed repairs and redecking of the inside half of the
northbound
bridge in early February under the first major stage of a $26.4 million
project
to rehabilitate the northbound and southbound U.S. 202 bridges over Amtrak
and
the ramp, and replace the concrete pavement on the ramps to and from U.S.
202
and U.S. 30/Exton Bypass.

Allan A Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
