Route 202 South Ramp To Route 30 Reopens In East Whiteland

EAST WHITELAND, PA – PennDOT announced Thursday, Dec. 21 that the ramp from southbound U.S. 202 to the U.S. 30/Exton Bypass and Business U.S. 30 in East Whiteland has reopened to two lanes.

The ramp was limited to one lane as crews worked to replace deteriorated concrete in the pavement, and in the sound wall foundations, PennDOT said.

Crews removed the concrete construction barrier from the work area at the off-ramp overnight Wednesday, Dec. 20, to open the right lane of the two-lane ramp early morning Thursday, Dec. 21.

The opening marks the completion of the first of two stages of concrete replacement on the two-lane ramp, according to PennDOT.

Work will continue in the area in early 2018, weather permitting. The remaining work entails removal and replacement of the ramp’s left lane pavement.

That work will be done at night with temporary work zone traffic patterns in place, PennDOT said. Those temporary patterns will be removed each morning by 5 a.m. to provide motorists two-lanes on the ramp during peak travel times.

Deteriorated concrete on the ramp from the eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to northbound U.S. 202 will be replaced later in 2018.
