• Through Aug. 31, vegetation management will cause lane closures on Creek Road between Lenape Unionville Road and Route 926 in Birmingham Township, and on Lenape Unionville Road between Wawaset and Creek roads in Pocopson and Birmingham townships. Vegetation management will also cause lane closures on Burnt Mill and Spring Mill roads in Kennett Township, Parkersville and Pocopson roads in Pennsbury Township, and Route 52 in Kennett and Pennsbury townships.

• PennDOT’s District 6 Bridge Unit has requested the closure of Smithbridge Road over Webb Creek in Concord Township due to recent bridge inspection findings. The findings indicate that there is advanced superstructure and substructure deterioration that warrants immediate closure. Smithbridge Road is closed with a detour west of Fox Hill Farms, between Arbor Circle and Palmer Drive. PennDOT will be posting detour signs to assist with travel through the area. No dates were given.
• Water main extensions will cause daytime lane restrictions with flagging on High. Street between Nields Street and Rosendale Avenue in West Chester through Aug. 31.
