202 Closures and then a Holiday

Nighttime lane closures are scheduled three nights next week (Nov. 20-22) on two sections of Route 202 in Chester County for road construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced today.

Southbound Route 202 will be reduced from two lanes to one between the Chesterbrook and Route 401 interchanges in Tredyffrin and East Whiteland townships on Sunday through Tuesday (Nov. 20-22) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for barrier placement and line striping.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $105.4 million project to add a third travel lane in each direction on Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to just north of the Route 401 Interchange in East Whiteland Township.

In addition, northbound and southbound Route 202 will be down to one lane between Route 100 and Matlack Street in West Goshen Township on Sunday through Tuesday (Nov. 20-22) nights for guide rail replacement and drain cleaning. Northbound Route 202 will be down to a single lane each night from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The southbound lane closure will be in effect from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

This operation is part of PennDOT’s $19.3 million project to rehabilitate and resurface 4.3 miles of Route 202 between the Route 100 Interchange and High Street. Construction began in May 2010 and is scheduled to finish in May 2012.

Due to the Thanksgiving holiday, there will be no construction-related lane closures on both sections of Route 202 from Wednesday morning, Nov. 23 through Monday evening, Nov. 28.

PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on Route 202 and other major highways before heading out.
