Posted by ChaddsFordLive on June 17, 2022

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 June 18 through June 24. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

• Motorists should expect lane restrictions with a detour for trucks on Route 162 at its intersection with Route 82 in Newlin Township because of bridge repair. There is currently no date for completion.

• Motorists on Route 1 will encounter lane closures next week because of repair and resurfacing through approximately six miles of the highway in Chadds Ford and Concord townships, Delaware County, and Pennsbury Township in Chester County. From Sunday, June 12 through Thursday, June 16, there will be overnight single-lane closures from Fairville Road to Route 202. From Tuesday, June 14, through Friday, June 17, motorists should expect overnight single-lane closures between Route 202 and Conchester Highway. In addition, a section of Thornton Road between Cheney Road and Route 1 is scheduled to close beginning Monday, June 13, for roadway construction at the intersection. The closure will be in place 24/7 through Friday, July 22.

• Road construction will close Thornton Road between Cheyney Road and Route 1 in Concord Township, 24/7, from June 13 through July 22.

• Road restoration will cause lane closures on High Street, Price Street, and S. High Street in West Chester. High Street will be affected between Virginia Avenue and Ashbridge Street; Price between Church and Darlington streets and between Church Street and Boxwood Alley; S. High Street between Nields and Lacey streets and between Magnolia and Union streets. Gay Street, between Church and Darlington, will also be affected. Work is expected to continue through July 1.

• The Embreeville Road Bridge over the West Branch over the Brandywine Creek in Newlin Township remains closed because of the Sept. 1 flooding. The closure remains listed as indefinite.
