Route 100 Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Bridge Deck Removal in West Whiteland Township
King of Prussia, PA – Route 100 motorists will encounter single lanes closures between Pottstown Pike and Kirkland Avenue in West Whiteland Township, Chester County on Monday, July 8, through Friday, July 12, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for deck removal on a project to rehabilitate the bridge carrying Boot Road over the highway, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
