Route 202 Exit Limited To One Lane Thursday In East Whiteland

PennDOT announced the restrictions just Thursday morning.

A southbound U.S. 202 exit in East Whiteland Township will only have one lane Thursday, according to PennDOT.

The exit will be limited from two lanes to one between the U.S. 30 and Business U.S. 30 Interchange.

PennDOT said crews will be working on replacing deteriorated concrete pavement.

The work is part of a $26.4 million project to complete the final phase of the U.S. 202 Section 300 improvement project, which includes the rehabilitation of two bridges over Amtrak rail lines, PennDOT said.

Crews working behind construction barriers are removing and replacing the deteriorated concrete from the right lane and shoulder on southbound U.S. 202 from south of the Planebrook Road bridge to the U.S. 30 and Business U.S. 30 Interchange, according to PennDOT

When completed later this year, traffic will shift to the rebuilt side of the ramp, and concrete replacement will begin on the left lane for much of 2018, PennDOT said.

In late 2018, deteriorated concrete pavement will be replaced from the U.S. 30 ramp to northbound U.S. 202 in two stages, according to PennDOT.
