Route 202 To Shut Down Overnight Near East Whiteland For Construction Work

KING OF PRUSSIA, PA -- Motorists traveling south on U.S. 202 between the Route 401 (Conestoga Road) and U.S. 30 interchanges in East Whiteland Township, will face an overnight lane closure on Thursday, April 14, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.

The closure will begin at 8 p.m. Thursday and continue through 5 a.m. on Friday, April 15, for sign maintenance, PennDOT said.

This operation, which is weather dependent, is part of the $63.3 million project under construction to widen and reconstruct 2.5 miles of U.S. 202 from north of the Route 401 Interchange to the U.S. 30 Interchange.

U.S. 202 south will be reduced from two lanes to one during this overnight operation. If rain forces the cancellation of the scheduled work, the contractor will perform the operation from 8:00 PM Friday, April 15, to 5:00 AM Saturday, April 16.

In addition, continuing roadwork on Route 401 (Conestoga Road) at the U.S. 202 Interchange in East Whiteland Township may cause periodic lane closures on Tuesday, April 12, through Friday, April 15, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and on Saturday, April 16, from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

All scheduled activities are dependent on the weather.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel and use extra care when driving through the work zone.

Construction to expand U.S. 202 to six lanes from north of Route 401 to U.S. 30, including work at the Route 401 Interchange, is being performed by Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester.

The project is scheduled to finish in late summer 2016.
