U.S. 322 Lane Closures, Stoppages Wednesday Night for Bridge Construction in Concord Township, Delaware County
U.S. 322 Lane Closures, Stoppages Wednesday Night for Bridge Construction
in Concord Township, Delaware County
5/3/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA
Motorists using U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) in Delaware County will
encounter
lane closures and periodic 15-minute stoppages next Wednesday night for
beam
placement on a section of the new bridge over Smithbridge Road in Concord
Township, Delaware County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT) announced today. The new bridge construction is part of the
ongoing
$62.2 million project to widen and reconstruct a U.S. 322 (Conchester
Highway)
from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to Clayton Park Drive.
Nighttime lane restrictions and 15-minute traffic stoppages will be in
place at
the Smithbridge Road overpass, located at about the mid-point of the
2.6-mile
work zone, from 7:00 PM Wednesday, May 9, until 5:00 AM Thursday, May 10.
The
restrictions will allow crews to position equipment and lift and secure the
deck beams for the eastbound section of the new bridge.
If weather forces cancellation of the planned operation, the beam placement
and
resultant restrictions and stoppages will take place from 7:00 PM Thursday,
May
10, to 5:00 AM Friday, May 11.
In addition, flagger-directed, alternating single-lane restrictions will
continue on Mondays through Thursdays, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, through
various
work areas along the construction zone. These daytime and overnight
operations
will continue through late fall.
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.
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.
PennDOT began construction last spring 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.
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 2019.
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.

PennDOT Announces Statewide Innovations Challenge Winner
PennDOT Announces Statewide Innovations Challenge Winner
5/3/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA
The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that a
team of students from The Haverford School, Montgomery County, has been
selected as the statewide winner for its inaugural Innovations Challenge.
"Since last fall, students have been working hard to solve this year's
challenge," said PennDOT Secretary Leslie S. Richards. "My personal thanks
to
all who took part in the PennDOT Innovations Challenge this year. I am
impressed by all of the innovative ideas we received to help make
Pennsylvania
a safer place to be."
Launched this school year, the PennDOT Innovations Challenge is a statewide
competition that called on teams of students in ninth through 11th grade to
use
their problem solving, creative and strategic-thinking abilities to solve a
specific real-world transportation challenge. Students were asked to look
at
technologies and innovative methods, aside from traditional paid
advertising,
marketing and social media channels, that can be developed in the next five
to
10 years to curb unsafe teen driving practices.
Mentored by Holly Golecki, Upper School Science, Director of Robotics,
statewide winning team members include: Yiheng Chen, Micky Fairorth, Aram
LaVan
and Will Vauclain.
The team's innovation was a machine-learning based attention analysis tool
for
use on smartphones that incorporates the device's existing technology.
Using
the built-in high-precision accelerometer and gyroscope, the platform can
detect real-time speed, acceleration and send alerts when unsafe driving
practices are detected. Additionally, since the accelerometer can detect
lane
changes and drifts, it can monitor the frequency and quality of the teen's
driving behavior and focus.
Seven regional winners were selected from 71 total entries to move on to
compete in the statewide competition on April 24 in Harrisburg. Winning
teams
presented their solution to this year's challenge to Richards and a panel
of
PennDOT judges who selected the statewide winner.
"I commend The Haverford School for their innovative solution to this
ongoing
problem," Richards said. "I am impressed with their efforts and encouraged
for
the future knowing that bright young minds share the department's passion
for
safety."

Pottstown Area
5/3/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA
Eastbound U.S. 422 will be closed and detoured from the split with Benjamin
Franklin Highway in Douglass Township, Berks County, to Route 100
(Pottstown
Pike) in North Coventry Township, Chester County, on Monday, May 7, through
Friday, May 11, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for barrier
adjustment as part of a project to improve and reconstruct 1.2 miles of
U.S.
422 from just east of the Schuylkill River bridge to just west of the
Montgomery County line, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT)
announced today.
During the overnight closure, eastbound U.S. 422 motorists will be directed
to
continue on Benjamin Franklin Highway/High Street and turn right onto
southbound Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) to access the ramp to eastbound U.S.
422.
In addition, the ramp from Grosstown Road at the Stowe Interchange to
eastbound
U.S. 422 will be closed on Monday, May 7, through Friday, May 11, from 9:00
PM
to 5:00 AM the following morning. Motorists will be directed to use High
Street
to access eastbound U.S. 422.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas
because backups and slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are
weather

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is reconstructing U.S. 422 on both
existing and new alignments; reconfiguring the U.S. 422/Stowe Interchange
to a
diamond configuration; removing and replacing the existing ramps and
culverts;
installing new Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment, message
boards, signing, pavement markings, lighting, concrete median barriers,
median
glare screens and guide rail; upgrading stormwater management facilities
and
pipes; and constructing and restoring wetlands.
H & K Group, Inc. of Schwenksville, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor on the $35,581,408 improvement project which is financed with
100
percent state funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan. The
