Posted by ChaddsFordLive on January 10, 2025

PennDOT has announced the following weather-dependent road projects that could affect drivers in the greater Chadds Ford area from Jan. 13 to Jan. 17. Motorists are urged to allow extra time traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.

• Now through early November, motorists should expect daytime lane closures in both directions on Route 1 between the Kennett Oxford Bypass and Greenwood Road in Kennett and East Marlborough townships. The closures are to facilitate widening that 1.3-mile stretch of roadway to three lanes in both directions.

• Utility installation will cause daytime lane closures on High. Street between Sharpless and E. Nields streets in West Chester through Feb. 28.

• Utility work will cause periodic daytime lane closures on Hannum Avenue between N. Wayne and N. Washington streets from Jan. 6 through Jan. 31.

• Also from Jan. 6-31, utility replacement will cause periodic daytime lane closures on High Street between Marshall Street and Goshen Avenue in West Chester.

• Construction is scheduled through the winter on Conchester Highway, Route 452 (Market Street), and Bethel Avenue as part of the $99.4 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve travel and safety on a 1.4-mile section of the Conchester. Motorists are advised of periodic overnight lane closures on weekdays through Tuesday, April 1, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the following morning.

• Manhole repairs will cause daytime lane closures on E. Market Street between Darlington Street and Woodbine Aly through Jan. 31.

• The Doe Run Road bridge on Route 82 over Doe Run remains closed indefinitely.

• Construction continues to replace Twin Bridges, the South Creek Road bridge over the Brandywine between Chadds Ford and Pennsbury townships. Work is expected to continue through fall 2025. South Creek Road will be closed 1,200 feet south of Bullock Road and 1.1 miles north of Cossart Road. During the closure, motorists are directed to use U.S. 1, Route 52, Center Meeting Road, and Delaware State Route 100 (Montchanin Road). Bicyclists traveling Bike Route L will be directed to use Bullock Road, Ring Road, Ridge Road, and Delaware State roadway Smithbridge Road.
