Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) Daytime Lane Restrictions Scheduled for Safety Improvement Project in Chester County
King of Prussia, PA – Weekday lane restrictions are scheduled 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, September 24, through Friday, September 28, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for guide rail installation and other 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.
As part of this project, 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 constructing two shoulder-widening pull-offs; installing pavement markings, rumble strips, and guide rail; and resurfacing the corridor with an open-graded surface treatment (NovaChip) to increase friction and reduce hydroplaning.
In addition, PennDOT's contractor is improving 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 later this year.
