Posted by ChaddsFordLive on October 22, 2021

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 Oct. 23 to Oct. 29. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if they are traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

• Pole replacement will cause daytime lane closures on Route 926 between Byrd Road and Brook Lane in East Marlborough Township from Oct. 18 to Nov. 30.

• Utility construction will close New Street between Gay and Market streets in West Chester through Oct. 29 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Aerial maintenance will cause daytime lane shifts on Route 926 between Byrd and Newark roads in West Marlborough Township through Dec. 30.

• Aerial maintenance will cause daytime lane shifts on Route 926 between Newark Road and West Baltimore Pike in West Marlborough Township through Dec. 30.

• Traffic signal installation will cause daytime lane closures on Route 926 between Cedarcroft Road and Unicorn Lane in East Marlborough Township through Nov 26.

• Utility construction will cause weekday lane closures on Gay Street between Church and New Streets in West Chester through Oct. 31.

• Roadwork on Route 1 through Chadds Ford will continue to be a problem for the remainder of the year. Lane closures remain in place in both directions on Route 1 between Hoffman Mill Road and Fairville Road in Chadds Ford and Pennsbury townships, under a project to repair the Route 1 bridge over the Brandywine Creek. The right lane closures will remain in place 24/7 through mid-October. Once the right lanes reopen to traffic in mid-October, the left lane in both directions will close through late December to continue expansion dam replacement.

• Work crews will also continue to prepare Route 1 from Hoffman Mill Road and Route 202 for repaving. Cutting and patching will continue for several months but the actual repaving won’t begin until sometime in the spring.

• Traffic signal installation will cause lane closures on Route 82 between Cedarcroft Road and Unicorn Lane through Nov. 26.

• Storm damage has forced the closing of the Street Road Bridge over the White Clay Creek in West Marlborough Township. PennDOT is listing the closure as indefinite.

• Storm damage also closed Embreeville Road Bridge over the West Branch over the Brandywine Creek in Newlin Township. That closure, too, is listed as indefinite.
