Route 452 (Market Street) Lane Closure Next Week for Utility Work in Delaware County

King of Prussia, PA – Route 452 (Market Street) will be reduced to a single lane between Ormand Street and 11th Street on Monday, October 1, through Friday, October 5, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for underground utility work on a project to replace the structure carrying Route 452 (Market Street) over Amtrak and SEPTA railroad tracks in Marcus Hook Borough and Lower Chichester Township, Delaware County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

Under this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor is replacing the 17-span reinforced concrete T-beam bridge with a new four-span, continuous prestressed box beam bridge. The new bridge will be 343 feet long, 40 feet wide and will be built on a new alignment and widened to meet current design standards. Crews will also resurface and regrade new approaches to the bridge.

Route 452 (Market Street) will continue to remain open to traffic during construction except for two 28-day closures planned during later stages of construction. The project is scheduled to finish in fall 2019.

The bridge was built in 1925 and rehabilitated in 1995. The current structure is 656 feet long, 32 feet wide and carries an average of 8,700 vehicles a day.

Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $19,947,624 project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

PennDOT - District 6 News: U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Concord Township, Delaware County

An update has been published to District 6 News on the PennDOT website. Please see below for details.

PennDOT - District 6 News

U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Concord Township, Delaware County

King of Prussia, PA - Periodic daytime and overnight lane closures will be in place next week on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Clayton Park Drive in Concord Township, Delaware County, for construction to improve and widen the highway.

On Monday, October 1, through Friday, October 5, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and Wednesday, October 3, and Thursday, October 4, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, flaggers will direct an alternating single lane of traffic on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) through various work areas along the 2.6-mile construction zone.

In addition, a section of Evergreen Drive will be closed at the intersection with U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) from 6:00 PM Sunday, September 30, until 6:00 PM Monday, October 1, for reconstruction to improve the south side of the intersection.

During the closure, which will affect approximately 500-feet of Evergreen Drive south of the intersection, access will be maintained to all businesses and residents, and SEPTA bus routes will continue to operate on Evergreen Drive from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike). Motorists will be directed to use the Evergreen Drive intersection at U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike). The work was originally scheduled for September 23-24 but was postponed due to rain.

Motorists should expect significant delays on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway), allow extra time for travel through the work areas, or use an alternate route. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

During the daytime and nighttime operations, crews on the $62.2 million project are paving two new eastbound lanes, completing excavation for widening in several areas, and reconstructing the eastbound side of several intersections.

PennDOT began construction in spring 2017 on the first-of-two mainline projects to widen and reconstruct a 6.7-mile section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Route 452 (Market Street) in Concord, Bethel and Upper Chichester townships, Delaware County. Work on the first mainline section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

Engineering design is advancing for the widening and reconstruction of the eastern section (Section 102) of the highway from just east of Clayton Park Drive to just east of Route 452 (Market Street). Construction on this section is expected to start in 2020.

An additional contract to replace the U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) bridge over the CSX railroad and Bethel Road as well as improvements to the adjacent Bethel Road Interchange is under design.
