Northbound and southbound Route 202 will be reduced to one lane between Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and Route 100 on Tuesday through Thursday (May 31-June 2). On these three nights, northbound traffic will restricted from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and southbound Route 202 will be down to one lane from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Northbound Route 202 will then be restricted to one lane from 7 p.m. Friday, June 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday, June 5 for the removal and replacement of damaged concrete. Route 202’s northbound right lane will be closed during this operation.

From 7 p.m. Friday, June 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 4, the northbound Route 202 off-ramp to Paoli Pike will be closed and detoured as will the Paoli Pike on-ramp to Route 202 North. Posted detours will take northbound Route 202 drivers to the Boot Road Interchange, where they will turn left on Boot Road and left to access the ramp to Route 202 South and the follow Route 202 South to the Paoli Pike exit. For Paoli Pike motorists heading to Route 202 North, they will be detoured south on Route 202 to the Route 3 (West Chester Pike) exit, where they will bear right onto Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and turn left at the ramp leading to Route 202 North.
