Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) Bridge Construction to Close U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) Weeknights in West Goshen Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that superstructure replacement on a Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) bridge will close a section of U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) in West Goshen Township, Chester County.  

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction: 

• Monday, November 4, through Friday, November 15 from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) will be closed weeknights in both directions between Phoenixville Pike and New Street.

During the closure, westbound U.S. 322 motorists will be directed to use the Paoli Pike Interchange, Gay Street, North High Street, Chestnut Street, Hannum Avenue, and Downingtown Pike. Eastbound U.S. 322 motorists will be directed to use Business U.S. 322, Hannum Avenue, N. New Street, Market Street, West Chester Pike, and the ramp to U.S. 322/U.S. 202 South.

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

On December 21, 2023, Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass), and the ramp from Route 100 to eastbound U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) were closed after a large vehicle struck the Route 100 bridge over the U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass).

PennDOT's contractor had previously repaired the structure and a section of U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) where debris from the bridge strike had fallen onto the roadway.

Built in 1955, the single-span, steel stringer Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) bridge over U.S. 322 is 77-feet-long, 80-feet-wide, and carries about 15,691 vehicles per day.
