In addition, the Route 202 North off-ramp to Paoli Pike and the Paoli Pike on-ramp to Route 202 North will be closed and detoured from 7 p.m. Friday (July 29) to 5 p.m. Sunday (July 31) for concrete patching. Detour signs will be posted to direct motorists around the two ramp closures. The detours are:

 

  • Route 202 North off-ramp to Paoli Pike: Route 202 North to the Boot Road off-ramp, then left on Boot Road, left at the ramp to Route 202 South and Route 202 South to the Paoli Pike off-ramp; and
  • Paoli Pike on-ramp to Route 202 North: Route 202 South to the Westtown Road off-ramp, then left on Westtown Road and left at the ramp to Route 202 North.

PennDOT advised drivers to allow additional time for travel on Route 202 during construction or use an alternate route because backups will occur. The contractor’s schedule is contingent on the weather.
