PennDOT has announced the following weather-dependent road projects that could affect drivers in the greater Chadds Ford area from Sept. 2 to Sept. 6. Motorists are urged to allow extra time traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

• Beginning Monday, Sept. 9, and running through that week until Friday, Sept. 13, motorists should expect daytime lane closures on Routes 202 and 926 in Thornbury and Westtown townships as part of a road improvement project. A contractor will install a new southbound right-turn deceleration lane on Route 202 at the Route 926 intersection. An additional eastbound left-turn lane will be installed on Route 926, creating a double left-turn configuration along the eastbound approach to the intersection with Route 202. Other safety improvements include upgrading signalization and ADA curb ramps, as well as milling and paving operations.

• Utility installation will cause daytime lane closures at the intersection of Hillendale Road, Union Street/Kaolin Road, and Old Kennett Road in Kennett Township on Sept. 4 and 5.

• Overhead utility work will cause daytime lane shifts on Conchester Highway between Bed Lane and Foulk Road in Concord Township through Nov. 26. Also affected will be Smithbridge Road between Valleybrook Road and Conchester.

• Old Kennett Pike between Bayard and Burnt Mill roads will be closed from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 5 for pipe replacement in Kennett Township. During the closure, motorists are directed to use Burnt Mill Road, Norway Road, Woodward Road, and Bayard Road.

• A high friction surface treatment will take place during daytime hours on Concord Road between Tuscany and Station roads in Concord Township from Aug. 19 through Nov. 23. Flaggers will control traffic flow.
