Work Begins on Radnor School Improvements

Radnor School District officials advises visitors to three of the district’s schools to expect some minor traffic delays around the entrances and driveways as construction work begins.

Crews at Radnor High School have already started preparing Radnor-Chester Road for Radnor Township’s installation of a new traffic light at the exit near the Field House.

Work includes milling and widening of the campus roadway adjacent to the Field House and the installation of ADA ramps and new sidewalks. The new campus roadway will accommodate a left-turn-only lane as well as a right-turn lane when exiting campus.

After school closes for students in June 2015, the on-site improvements of installing a new roadway along the northern edge of Roland Field and expanding the student parking lot to 76 spaces will begin.

On May 18,construction will begin on new additions to Ithan and Wayne elementary schools. At Ithan, work on the school will begin with the installation of construction fencing, development of access drives to the construction areas and removal of existing landscaping areas.

The addition includes two classrooms, walkways and a covered rear entrance canopy. The project is scheduled for a February 2016 completion date.

Wayne Elementary will receive three classrooms, a guidance suite, a technology server room and office, large restrooms and small group instructional spaces. That work will be completed by June 2016, according to the district.
