Wolf Administration Announces Work to Begin on Project to Repair and Resurface Seven Miles of Route 113 in Chester County
King of Prussia, PA – The Wolf Administration announced today that construction is scheduled to begin Sunday, September 23, on a project to repair and resurface seven miles of Route 113 (Uwchlan Avenue) in Chester County.
"Resurfacing projects are vital to maintaining our transportation network and overall infrastructure," Governor Tom Wolf said. "Investing in resurfaced roads will help improve the quality of life for residents of Chester County."
This project accompanies the governor's Resurface PA initiative, an aggressive campaign launched by PennDOT to accelerate repaving interstates and attacking potholes across the state's 40,000 miles of PennDOT-maintained roads, the nation's fifth largest such system.
On Sunday, September 23, through Saturday, September 29, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 113 (Uwchlan Avenue) between Business U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) and Peck Road/Whitford Hills Road in Downingtown Borough and Uwchlan Township, Chester County for milling and paving.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because slowdowns will occur. The contractor's schedule is dependent on the weather.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill the existing roadway surface and repave with new asphalt, a seven-mile section of Route 113 (Uwchlan Avenue) from Business U.S 30 (Lancaster Avenue) to Gordon Drive in Downingtown Borough, Uwchaln and East Caln townships, Chester County. The new pavement will seal the roadway and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
Highway Materials, Inc. of Flourtown, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $2,522,579 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.
Work on the project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
