• NIGHTTIME LANE CLOSURES ON US 202 AT PA 29


Tuesday, July 06, 2010

King of Prussia – Route 202 in Chester County will be reduced to a single lane in each direction during nighttime and overnight hours next week (July 6-8) for construction at the Route 29 Interchange in East Whiteland Township, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced today.

Route 202 will be reduced to one lane northbound and one lane southbound at the Route 29 interchange Tuesday through Thursday (July 6-8) from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. The lane closures will be in place to complete grading, painting and clean up operations at the new Route 29 overpass, which was opened fully to traffic in late June. Lane closures on Route 202 also will be in place the nights of Monday, July 12 and Tuesday, July 13.

Final paving also is scheduled on Route 29 (Morehall Road) approaching the new span over Route 202. Motorists may encounter lane shifts and brief stoppages in either direction Tuesday through Thursday (July 6-8) from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. This restriction on Route 29 also will occur the nights of Monday, July 12 and Tuesday, July 13.

Flagger-controlled lane closures also may happen on Swedesford Road at the Route 29 Interchange area Tuesday through Friday (July 6-9) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as crews finish clean up and minor work items at the new bridge over Route 202. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

These two overpasses, along with five others that have been rebuilt or modified, were replaced with wider structures to make room for a future improvement of Route 202 between North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township and the Route 30 Bypass Interchange in East Whiteland Township. Construction to widen Route 202 is scheduled to start in early 2011.
