PennDOT Repairing Potholes On 14 Delaware County Highways

Pothole repair work is underway on more than a dozen state highways across Delaware County, PennDOT announced.

Potholes, a bane of winter drivers, proliferate during freezing weather. Earlier in the winter, several area residents described potholes "big enough to swim in," and it only takes a small pothole to damage your vehicle.

The repairs, which began Monday, March 26, extended to more than 60 roads across the region.

In Delaware County, following roads are being cured of potholes:

• Interstate 95 in Upper Chichester, Ridley and Tinicum townships and City of Chester;
• Interstate 476 in Ridley Township and Swarthmore Borough;
• U.S. 13 (9th Street) in City of Chester;
• U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) in Bethel and Upper Chichester townships;
• Route 291 (Governor Printz Boulevard) in Tinicum and Ridley townships and Eddystone Borough;
• Highland Avenue in City of Chester;
• Engle Street in Chester Township and City of Chester;
• Concord Road in Concord, Chester and Aston townships;
• Ridge Road in Chadds Ford Township;
• Bethel Avenue in Upper Chichester Township;
• 9th Street/Ridge Road in Lower Chichester Township, Trainer Borough and City of Chester;
• Chelsie Road in Bethel Township;
• Oak Avenue/Hook Road in Upper Darby and Darby townships and Secane and Sharon Hill boroughs;
• Bodley Road in Chester Heights Borough.

If you notice a pothole on a state road that is maintained by PennDOT, contact 1-800-FIX-ROAD. Potholes on county or municipal roads should be reported to those respective authorities.
