Nighttime Lane Closures Planned for 202

The following was provided to Patch by PennDOT:

Drivers will face nighttime lane closures next week when traveling on U.S. 202 between the Chesterbrook and Route 401 interchanges in Tredyffrin and East Whiteland townships, Chester County, for roadwork, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.

Crews will work at night to install rumble strips and additional reflective pavement markers on the newly opened six-lane section of U.S. 202.

Weather permitting, lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound U.S. 202 on Monday through Friday (Dec. 8-12) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. Motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel and use extra care when driving through the construction zone.

PennDOT opened nearly 4 miles of U.S. 202 to six lanes between the Route 252 (Swedesford Road) and Route 401 interchanges on Sept. 26. The highway was rebuilt and widened under a $105.4 million project that began in April 2011.

Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the $105,415,093 project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
