Watch For U.S. 1 Patching Work Starting Saturday In Chesco, Delco

CHADDS FORD TOWNSHIP, PA — A week of non-stop concrete patching along U.S. 1 in Chadds Ford Township starts Saturday and will extend into the Labor Day weekend.

Southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) drivers will encounter a lane closure between U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and Hoffman Mill Road on Aug. 28, through Saturday, Sept. 4, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said.

The lane closure is for patching under a project to repair and resurface 6 miles of U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in Chadds Ford, Concord, and Pennsbury townships, in parts of Chester and Delaware counties, PennDOT announced.

Southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur due to these operations. All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will mill, overlay, and rehabilitate the existing pavement; perform concrete patching and concrete base repair as needed; construct new concrete curbed median; install new pavement markings, rumble strips, delineators and signs; and upgrade guide rail and curb ramps.

Allan Myers, LP, of Worcester in Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $13.7 million project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds, according to PennDOT.
