West Chester Bypass Closed In Both Directions Next Week: PennDOT

CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Road construction will continue next week under a $3.6 million project to improve travel and safety along a 2.87-mile section of the West Chester Bypass in East Bradford and West Goshen townships, PennDOT announced Thursday.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 26, to Friday, Dec. 29, periodic lane closures are scheduled on Route 322 in both directions between Downingtown Pike and Route 202 for guide rail construction.

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 lanes, extend the acceleration lanes, replace traffic signals, construct shoulders to accommodate bicycles, install centerline rumble strips, replace guide rails, and install wrong-way countermeasures throughout the project corridor.

The improvements begin at the intersection of U.S. 322 at Downingtown and continue east to U.S. 322 at the West Chester Bypass and intersection with Route 202.
The intersections included in this project are North New Street, Route 100, 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 corridor.

Allan Myers of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Construction on the project is expected to finish this winter.
