U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Construction in Chadds Ford, Concord Townships

King of Prussia, PA – U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) motorists will encounter lane closures next week for various construction activities under a project to repair and resurface approximately six miles of the highway in Chadds Ford and Concord townships, Delaware County, and Pennsbury Township, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work locations and schedules are:

• Sunday, June 5, through Friday, June 10, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the following morning, a single lane closure is scheduled on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in both directions between Chadds Ford School Drive/Fairville Road and U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) for paving;
• Tuesday, June 7, through Thursday, June 9, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the following morning, a single lane closure is scheduled on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in both directions between U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) for sawcutting; and
• From 9:00 PM Friday, June 10, to 5:00 AM Monday, June 13, a 24-hour lane closure is scheduled on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in both directions between U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) for concrete patching.
  

In addition, a section of Thornton Road between Cheney Road and U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) is scheduled to close beginning Monday, June 13, for roadway construction at the intersection. The closure will be in place 24/7 through Friday, July 22.

During the closure, southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) motorists will be allowed to turn right at Thornton Road, while northbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) motorists will be directed to turn around at Cheyney Road and use southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to turn right on Thornton Road. No left turns will be permitted onto Thornton Road from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike).

Northbound Thornton Road motorists will be directed to use Concord Road and U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike), while southbound Thornton Road motorists will still have access to southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike). Local access will be maintained for residents and businesses.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) improvement project, PennDOT's contractor will mill, overlay, and rehabilitate the existing pavement; perform concrete patching and concrete base repair as needed; construct new concrete curbed median; install new pavement markings, rumble strips, delineators, and signs; and upgrade guiderail and curb ramps.

Allan Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $13.7 million project, which is financed with 80% federal and 20% state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com or downloading the 511PA mobile application. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
