The following was provided to Patch by PennDOT:

Drivers will face overnight lane closures when traveling on U.S. 202 between the Chesterbrook and Route 401 interchanges in Tredyffrin and East Whiteland townships, Chester County, for road construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said Thursday.

Crews will work at night to finish the newly opened six-lane section of U.S. 202 by sealing pavement joints, concrete patching, smoothing out areas of concrete pavement, and installing reflective pavement markers.

Weather permitting, lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound U.S. 202 from 10 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 1; on Monday, Nov. 3 through Thursday, Nov. 6 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.; and from 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 7 to 10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 8.

PennDOT opened nearly 4 miles of U.S. 202 to 6 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.
