More Nighttime Closures on U.S. 202 This Week

Nighttime lane closures continue this week on U.S. 202 between the Route 401 and Chesterbrook interchanges in East Whiteland and Tredyffrin townships, according to PennDOT.

The contractor will work at night to replace areas of the concrete pavement that were not accepted by PennDOT, and complete miscellaneous drainage and signing work along the six-lane section of U.S. 202 that was substantially completed last year.

Motorists will face lane closures on northbound and southbound U.S. 202 on Monday, June 1, through Thursday, June 4, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning.

From 8 p.m. Friday, June 5, to 10 a.m. Saturday, June 6, U.S. 202 north will be reduced from three lanes to one.

PennDOT opened nearly four miles of U.S. 202 to six lanes between the Route 252 (Swedesford Road) and Route 401 interchanges last September. The highway was rebuilt and widened under a $105.4 million project that began in April 2011.

Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the $105,415,093 project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

For construction on the $63.4 million project to widen the southern section of U.S. 202 between the Route 401 and U.S. 30 interchanges, motorists may encounter off-peak lane closures and intermittent traffic stoppages when traveling on Route 401 and Planebrook Road in the area of the U.S. 202 overpasses.

Lane closures may occur on Route 401 and Planebrook Road weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., weeknights from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Intermittent 15-minute traffic stoppages are possible Mondays through Thursdays from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from 12:01 a.m. to 10 a.m.
