The following was provided to Patch by PennDOT:

Overnight lane closures will be in place through early next week on U.S. 202 between the Chesterbrook and Route 401 interchanges in Tredyffrin and East Whiteland townships, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said this week.

Weather permitting, lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound U.S. 202 from 10 p.m. Friday (Nov. 21) to 10 a.m. Saturday (Nov. 22), and on Sunday (Nov. 23), Monday (Nov. 24) and Tuesday (Nov. 25) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Crews will work at night to set sound wall panels in place on the newly opened six-lane section of U.S. 202 and perform other roadwork activities.

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.
