Roundabout Work Closes Reeceville Road Intersection, West Brandywine

CHESTER COUNTY, PA— PennDOT announced Monday that roundabout construction will continue on Tuesday, June 6, under a project to improve travel and safety through the Route 82 intersection with Cedar Knoll Road Easts and Reeceville Road in West Brandywine Township, Chester County.

Construction of the $1.5 million project is expected to be completed by the spring of 2024.

Beginning Tuesday, June 6, through Thursday, October 5, East Reeceville Road and Cedar Knoll Road will be closed and detoured 24/7 approaching the Route 82 (Manor Road) Intersection.

During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Bondsville Road, U.S. 322, and Hibernia Road.

In addition, Route 82 will be reduced to a single lane 24/7 through Cedar Knoll Road East Reeceville Road Intersection beginning Tuesday, June 6, through Thursday, October 5.

Route 82 traffic through the intersection will be controlled with a temporary traffic signal.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through and near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this safety improvement project, PennDOT’s contractor will construct a single-lane roundabout to enhance traffic flow through the intersection.

The project will also include a full-depth reconstruction of the existing intersection; a new storm sewer drainage system to improve the conveyance of runoff to downstream drainage swales; grading for future installation of sidewalks and crossings; and lighting will be installed for the roundabout.

The project aims to reduce overall crashes at the intersection; reduce vehicle speeds; and provide a safe and efficient intersection that will serve existing and future traffic.

Marino Corporation of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor for the project, which is financed with 100% federal funds.
