King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that guiderail installation and line painting operations will occur next week under a $3.6 million project to improve travel and safety along a 2.87-mile section of U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) in East Bradford and West Goshen townships, Chester County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this safety improvement project, PennDOT's contractor will narrow the travel lanes; extend the acceleration lanes; replace and install traffic signals; construct shoulders to accommodate bicycles; install center line rumble strips; replace guide rails; and install wrong way countermeasures throughout the project corridor.
The improvements begin at the intersection of U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) and U.S. 322 (Downingtown Pike) and continue east to the U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) intersection with U.S. 202. The intersections included in this project are North New Street, Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), Penn Drive, Phoenixville Pike, and U.S. 202.
The project aims to improve the safe and efficient movement of motorists and bicyclists on the U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) corridor.
Allan Myers of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100% federal funds.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
