3 Newtown Roads Being Targeted For Repair, Resurfacing

NEWTOWN TOWNSHIP, PA — Three roads in Newtown Township are getting state funding to help repair and resurface them, State Rep. Dave Delloso said.

Delloso announced that the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has awarded a $7,485,777 contract to Montgomery-based Allan Myers, LP for the repair and resurfacing of 17 roadways in Delaware, Chester and Montgomery counties, including three in Newtown Township.

In Newtown, Bryn Mawr Avenue, Goshen Road, and St. Davids Road will be targeted with the new funding boost.

The portion of Bryn Mawr Avenue is between Route 3/West Chester Pike and the Bryn Mawr Avenue bridge over Darby Creek in Newtown and Radnor townships.

Goshen Road's area is between Route 252/Newtown Street Road and Darby Paoli Road in Newtown and Radnor townships.

And the portion of St. Davids Road being affected is between Church Road and the Route 252/Darby Paoli Road Interchange in Newtown and Radnor townships.

"This is welcome news for our region and, as such, I’m so happy to see these improvements already beginning to take shape," Delloso said. "Barring any type of unanticipated delays, all of the work is slated to begin this summer and expected to be completed around this time next year. And while construction may cause short-term delays, there’s no doubt that once completed, these important improvements will provide a better driving experience in the long term."

According to Delloso, the improvements will involve milling and resurfacing 31 miles of state highway using bituminous material, plus performance micro-surfacing on deteriorated pavement joints on southbound Interstate 476 in Montgomery and Delaware counties, and on a section of northbound and southbound U.S. 202 in Chester County.

The new pavements will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
