PennDOT has announced the following road projects, which are weather-dependent and could affect drivers in the greater Chadds Ford area during the week of Roadwork for June 20-June 26. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if they are traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

• Utility work by PECO will cause lane closures on Route 162 (Embreeville Road) — between Scott Road and Brandywine Creek Road in Newlin Township — from June 29, July 3,

• Bridge replacement on Route 52, between Pocopson and Creek roads in Birmingham Township, is expected to continue through early July. The same bridgework will also keep Creek Road closed between Riverbend Lane and Country Club Road.

• Barrier installation will cause lane closures on Brandywine Creek Road — between Green Valley Road and Powell Road in Newlin Township — into early July.

• Bridge replacement will close State Street in Kennett Square — between Mill Road and Penns Manor Drive — through Aug. 28.

• The Concord Road bridge over Green Creek remains closed and detoured between Valentine Drive and Foulk Road in Concord Township. Work is expected to be completed in early February 2021. During the closure, Concord Road motorists will be detoured over Valley Brook Road and SmithBridge Road. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Lane restrictions on the Conchester Highway — between Routes 1 and Clayton Park Drive — continue for reconstruction and widening.

With Chester and Delaware counties now in the green phase of Gov. Tom Wolf’s reopening plan, some reminders may be needed. Being in the green does not mean a return to normalcy.

Wearing masks is still required when entering a business, and businesses with in-person operations need to adhere to updated safety requirements found here.

Additionally, restaurants and bars may now have indoor service but are limited to 50 percent capacity. That 50 percent capacity also applies to hair salons and barbershops, but service is by appointment only. Gyms, spas, and other personal care facilities are also restricted to 50 percent capacity, with appointments recommended. Large public gatherings are limited to no more than 250 people.

There is also a list of requirements for organized sports and athletics, including social distancing and face covers. That list may be found here.

General guidelines remain in place. They include masks, social distancing of six feet, handwashing, sneezing and coughing into your elbow, and staying home if sick.

Chester County officials have also added a call center service for business and resident questions on reopening guidelines and practices. That number is 610-344-6225 and is operated by Chester County Health Department staff, with input from members of the County Commissioners’ COVID-19 Business Task Force.
