Nighttime travel on Route 202 will be restricted to a single lane in each direction between Matlack Street and Route 100 in West Goshen Township, Chester County on Sunday through Thursday (April 15-19) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. for final paving operations, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced today.
Crews will work at night over the next month to place the final layer of asphalt on this stretch of Route 202 as part of PennDOT’s $19.3 million project to rehabilitate and improve this 4.3-mile section of the highway. Construction is scheduled to finish in late May 2012.
Route 202 motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel or use an alternate route during construction because backups and delays will occur.
