Lane Closures Expected For Route 1 Improvements In Penndel

PENNDEL, PA —PennDOT will begin line striping Thursday as part of its Business Route 1 Improvement Project.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said the line striping will last for two days on Business Route 1 (Lincoln Highway) under a project to enhance safety and improve travel through the Hulmeville Avenue intersection.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Thursday, Feb. 23, and Friday, Feb. 24, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., a lane closure is scheduled on Business U.S. 1 (Lincoln Highway) in both directions between Glen Avenue and Centre Street.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will widen the existing intersection to add exclusive left-turn lanes; mill, pave and stripe the intersection and its approaches; upgrade existing traffic signal equipment; and install new ADA curb ramps at the Business Route 1 intersections at Hulmeville Avenue and Noeland Avenue.

Additional enhancements include replacing the existing sidewalk along the north and south side of Business U.S. 1 approaching the intersection with Hulmeville Avenue, adjusting the curbing to improve truck turning radius, and upgrading drainage inlets and pipes.

Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on the $2.2 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
