Road Report for March 4 through March 10

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 March 4 through March 10. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

Preliminary construction will begin next week on a $10.4 million project to widen and improve a 1.3-mile section of Route 1 from the Kennett Oxford Bypass to Greenwood Road in Kennett and East Marlborough townships. Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will mill and overlay Route 1, construct a third travel lane on certain sections in each direction, and use existing shoulders and right turn lanes to create a third lane for the rest of the corridor. They will also build sidewalks along the north side of Route 1 from Schoolhouse Road to the Longwood Village Shopping Center entrance and eliminate the left turn movement from Orchard Avenue onto Route 1.

Embankment restoration, debris removal, and guide rail reset will cause single-lane daytime closures on Route 926 between Creek and W. Street roads in Birmingham Township from March 6-10.

Utility Restoration will cause daytime lane closures on Price Street between S. High and Darlington streets and on S. High Street between University Avenue and Union Street in West Chester from March 6-14.

Underground work will continue to cause partial daytime lane closures on Market Street between High and New streets in West Chester through April 1.

Gas line installation will cause daytime lane closures on E. Market Street at S. Matlack Street in West Chester through March 10.

Water main replacement will cause daytime lane closures on N. High Street between W. Ashbridge and W. Gay streets, in West Chester through April 28.

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.
