Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) Overnight Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week
for Paving in Chester County

6/8/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Motorists will encounter overnight 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 Sunday, June 10, through Friday, June 15, from 7:00 PM
to
6:00 AM, for paving operations 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 are working 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.
