Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for Safety
Improvement Project in Chester County

5/18/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Motorists will encounter weekday lane restrictions in both directions on
Route
100 (Pottstown Pike) between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road) in
Upper Uwchlan, West Vincent, East Nantmeal and South Coventry townships,
Chester County, on Monday, May 21, through Thursday, May 24, from 9:00 AM
to
3:00 PM, for construction activities related to a project to improve
traffic
flow and safety along a 6.3-mile section of Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), the

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

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 guide rail.

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.

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.
