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 July 2 through July 8. Motorists are urged to allow extra time if traveling through one of the construction zones. Work schedules are subject to change.
• Motorists on Route 1 will encounter continuous lane closures in both directions between Chadds Ford School Drive/Fairville Road and Route 202 from 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 5, through Friday, July 8, for various construction activities.
• Through the end of December, utility renewal will cause daytime lane restrictions on Route 52 between Fairville Road and Wedgewood Drive in Pennsbury Township.
• 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.
• A section of Thornton Road between Cheney Road and Route 1 is scheduled for closure 24/7 for roadway construction at the intersection through Friday, July 22.
• 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.
