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

5/10/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

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

The work schedule is:

• Wednesday, May 16, through Friday, May 18, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, and until 10:00 AM Saturday, May 19, northbound U.S. 202

will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one between the Boot Road and Route 401
interchanges;

• Wednesday, May 16 through Friday, May 18, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, and until 10:00 AM Saturday, May 19, the northbound U.S.
202
ramp to Business U.S. 30 will be closed. Motorists normally using the ramp
will
be directed to exit at the Route 401 Interchange, and turn right onto Route
401
(Conestoga Road) to access U.S. 30; and

• Friday, May 18, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 AM Saturday, May 19, the ramp from
eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to northbound U.S. 202 will be closed.
Motorists
normally using the ramp will be directed to exit at Business U.S. 30, turn
right onto Business U.S. 30 and immediately right onto the ramp to U.S. 202

North.

These restrictions will allow the contractor to set up and test concrete
paving
equipment and pour sections of the new concrete deck for the outer half the

U.S. 202 bridge over Amtrak at the southern end of the interchange. All
schedule activities are weather permitting.

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 U.S. 30/Exton Bypass 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.
