Major Road Repaving Project Slated To Begin Tuesday In Doylestown

DOYLESTOWN BOROUGH, PA — The long awaited paving of East and West State Street is scheduled to begin tonight and continue nighty through Friday, July 31.

PennDOT announced that overnight milling and paving operations on State Street will begin on Tuesday, weather permitting, and continue through the end of the month.

The work will be taking place on East State Street from U.S. 202 to Ashland Street and on West State Street from Clinton Street to Route 611 (Doylestown Bypass).

The work is scheduled overnight from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. During the overnight hours, lane closures with flagging operations will be in place.

Next week, PECO is scheduled to conduct a gas main installation project in the center of town starting on West State Street and them moving to East State Street. Once that work is complete, the remainder of State Street will be repaved "with smooth driving through the heart of Doylestown," according to a Facebook posting by State Rep. Tim Brennan.

Motorists can expect delays and should use caution when traveling through the area
