• PENNDOT COMPLETES ARRA PROJECT ON US 30 BYPASS |
|
|
King of Prussia – PennDOT District 6 announced today that construction is completed on the $4.2 million economic recovery project to resurface and upgrade Route 30 (Exton Bypass) between the Route 202 and Business Route 30 interchanges in East Whiteland, West Whiteland and East Caln townships, Chester County. Work began last September and finished yesterday.
Construction crews improved this five-mile long stretch of Route 30 by removing the 14-year old riding surface and repaving the four-lane highway and ramps. Following the resurfacing of the highway last fall, crews this year installed new guide rail and median barriers; installed safety rumble strips on the shoulders; updated highway signing and installed reflective pavement markers.
The $4,267,685 project was financed with federal funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
This portion of Route 30, known locally as the Exton Bypass, was opened to traffic in December 1995. The highway carries between 40,000 and 54,000 vehicles a day.
Glasgow, Inc. of Glenside, Montgomery County was the general contractor.
Within the five-county Philadelphia region, PennDOT is investing $257 million of federal economic recovery funds on 30 transportation projects, which include road and bridge improvements, Intelligent Transportation System installations, traffic signal upgrades, multi-use trail construction and curb ramp replacements.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out. |
