Route 202’s northbound and southbound travel lanes will run on the southbound side of the highway until late 2012, when the contractor will move all traffic over to the rebuilt northbound lanes and begin reconstructing southbound Route 202.

PennDOT advises motorists to allow more time for travel on this part of Route 202 during the weekend because slowdowns and delays will occur as crews implement the new construction-zone traffic pattern. The speed limit in the Route 202 work area is 45 miles per hour.

“Our plan is to have all Route 202 traffic on the southbound side of the highway by early Monday morning (Dec. 12) so we can begin rebuilding and widening northbound Route 202 in 2012,” PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso said.

Weekend construction on northbound Route 202 will start at 8 p.m. Friday (Dec. 9) and last until 5 a.m. Monday (Dec. 12). In addition to northbound lane closures, three northbound ramps will be temporarily closed to construct access lanes at the Route 29 interchange.

Weather permitting, the following traffic restrictions are scheduled to establish the new traffic pattern on Route 202:

•  Wednesday and Thursday (Dec. 7-8) from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., Route 202’s southbound left lane will be closed between the Chesterbrook Boulevard and Route 401 interchanges;

•  From 8 p.m. Friday (Dec. 9) to 8 a.m. Saturday (Dec. 10), Route 202’s northbound left lane will be closed between the Route 401 and Chesterbrook Boulevard interchanges;

•  Saturday (Dec. 10) from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Route 202’s northbound left lane will run on the southbound side of the highway and the right lane will run on the northbound side between Route 401 and Chesterbrook Boulevard. Drivers must travel in the northbound right lane to access off ramps at the Route 29 and Route 252 interchanges;

•  From 8 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 10) to 10 a.m. Sunday (Dec. 11), northbound Route 202 will be restricted to one lane on the southbound side of the highway between the Route 401 and Chesterbrook Boulevard interchanges;

•  From 8 p.m. Saturday (Dec. 10) to 10 a.m. Sunday (Dec. 11), the Route 202 North off-ramp to Route 29 North/Great Valley will be closed and detoured.  The posted detour is Route 401 East to Swedesford Road and left at Swedesford Road to Route 29;

•  Sunday (Dec. 11) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the on-ramp to Route 202 North from Swedesford Road (at the Route 29 Interchange) will be closed and detoured. The posted detour will take motorists south on Route 29, left at Matthews Road and left at the ramp to Route 202 North;

•  Sunday (Dec. 11) from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., the Route 202 North off-ramp to Route 29 South/Malvern will be closed and detoured. The posted detour will take northbound Route 202 drivers to the Route 29 North/Great Valley exit, then right at Matthews Road to Route 29; and

•  From 8 p.m. Sunday (Dec. 11) to 5 a.m. Monday (Dec. 12), Route 202 North will be reduced to one lane on the southbound side of the highway between the Route 401 and Chesterbrook Boulevard interchanges.

Crews will work during the weekend to set construction barriers, pave, paint traffic lines and eradicate lines. If the Route 202 traffic switch is postponed due to inclement weather, crews will work the following weekend (Dec. 16-18) to establish the new pattern.

The Route 202 traffic pattern change is part of PennDOT’s $105.4 million project to rebuild and widen four miles of Route 202 from four lanes to six from just south of the Chesterbrook Boulevard Interchange to just north of the Route 401 Interchange. Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. Construction began in April 2011 and is scheduled to finish in June 2014.

This project is phase one of PennDOT’s two-phase program to rebuild and widen 6.5 miles of Route 202.

The southern part of the Route 202 construction corridor, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange, is in final engineering design. Roadwork is scheduled to start in early 2013 and finish in late 2015. The construction cost to expand and rebuild this section is estimated at $83 million.

Route 202 carries an average of 76,000 to 68,000 vehicles a day between the Chesterbrook Boulevard and Route 30/Exton Bypass interchanges, respectively.

Turnpike Commission are strongly urging motorists to avoid all unnecessary travel in eastern Pennsylvania, including the area from Harrisburg north to the New York border, east to the New Jersey border and south to the Maryland border.

Currently Interstate 80 is closed in both directions from Exits 232 to 236 and Interstate 81 is closed in both directions between Exits 90 and 100. Also, hundreds of secondary roads are closed.

Many roads that are open are experiencing extremely high traffic, resulting in gridlock in many regions.  In addition to flooding, mud slides and downed trees continue to pose safety risks along roadways in the rain-drenched regions.

For your safety as well as the safety of other motorists and emergency responders, motorists are urged to avoid unnecessary travel until conditions improve.

Motorists can check road conditions on more than 2,900 miles of state roads by calling 511 or by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, average traffic speeds on urban interstates and access to more than 500 traffic cameras.

Next week, Route 202 will again be restricted to one lane in each direction on Monday through Friday nights (Aug. 22-26).   Northbound Route 202 will have a single lane from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. and southbound Route 202 from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

PennDOT advises drivers to allow additional time for travel on Route 202 during construction or use an alternate route because backups will occur.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $19.3 million project to rehabilitate and resurface 4.3 miles of Route 202 between the Route 100 Interchange and High Street. Construction began in May 2010 and is scheduled to finish in May 2012.

Crews are replacing deteriorated concrete pavement and resurfacing the four-lane expressway; reconstructing roadway shoulders; patching and repairing eight bridges; painting steel beams on three bridges; removing and replacing five overhead sign structures; installing new highway signs; installing new guide rail and median barrier; and installing safety rumble strips and pavement reflectors.

Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $19,377,081 project that is financed with 100 percent federal ARRA funds.

Route 202’s southbound right lane and northbound left lane will be closed while crews reconstruct and widen shoulders, set concrete barriers in place, and paint traffic lines. The work schedule is weather dependent. In the event that inclement weather postpones construction one night, the contractor will work Saturday, July 30 from 12:01 a.m. to 10 a.m.

PennDOT’s contractor is rebuilding Route 202’s outside southbound shoulder and setting concrete barriers in place in preparation for shifting two lanes of northbound traffic over to the southbound side of the highway later this year.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time for travel during construction because travel delays will occur. The posted speed limit in the Route 202 construction zone is 45 miles per hour.

This roadwork is part of PennDOT’s $105.4 million project to add a third travel lane in each direction on four miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to just north of the Route 401 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

PennDOT is rebuilding and expanding 6.5 miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange under two construction contracts. The second contract, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange, is in final engineering design. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2013 and finish in late 2015.

The southbound right lane on Route 202 will be closed as crews rebuild the outside shoulder, which will serve as a travel lane during later stages of the project.

The contractor’s schedule is weather dependent. In the event that inclement weather postpones construction one night, the contractor will work Saturday, July 9 from 12:01 a.m. to 10 a.m.

PennDOT advises motorists that the posted speed limit in the Route 202 construction zone is 45 miles per hour. Southbound drivers should allow additional time for travel during construction because slowdowns will occur.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $105.4 million project to add a third travel lane in each direction along four miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to just north of the Route 401 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

PennDOT is rebuilding and expanding 6.5 miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange under two construction contracts. The second contract, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange, is in final engineering design. Construction is scheduled to start in early 2013 and finish in late 2015.

The contractor’s schedule is weather dependent. If any of the scheduled weeknight operations are postponed due to inclement weather, a southbound lane closure will be in place from 8 p.m. Friday, June 17 to 10 a.m. Saturday, June 18.

PennDOT advises motorists that the posted speed limit in the Route 202 construction area is 45 miles per hour. Southbound drivers should allow additional time for travel through the work zone because slowdowns will occur.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $105.4 million project to add a third travel lane in each direction along four miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to just north of the Route 401 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

PennDOT is rebuilding and expanding 6.5 miles of Route 202 from just south of the Route 252 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange under two construction contracts. The second contract, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange, is in final engineering design. Roadwork is scheduled to start in early 2013 and finish in late 2015.

Schoch, P.E., joined federal, state and local officials today to break ground on a project to widen more than six miles of Route 202. The roadway will be widened to three lanes in each direction from just south of the Swedesford Road Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to the Route 30 Interchange in East Whiteland Township, Chester County.

“Today we launch construction on a highly anticipated project that will transform an aging and worn stretch of Route 202 into a modern six-lane highway,” Schoch said. “When completed, this expansion will help keep commuters moving safely and smoothly through the Great Valley area.

“The importance of Route 202 from a transportation and economic perspective cannot be overstated. Adding a third lane in each direction will dramatically improve rush-hour travel.”

Crews are starting operations on the first mainline contract to rebuild and widen four miles of Route 202 from four lanes to six from just south of the Swedesford Road Interchange to just north of the Route 401 Interchange. The $105.4 million project is scheduled to be completed in June 2014. Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.

The southern part of the Route 202 construction corridor, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30/Exton Bypass Interchange, is in final engineering design. Roadwork is scheduled to start in early 2013 and finish in late 2015. The construction cost to expand and rebuild this section is estimated at $82.7 million.

In addition to widening Route 202 under this first mainline contract, crews will build a two-lane, two-mile long collector-distributor road along northbound Route 202 to facilitate ramp traffic at the Route 29 Interchange. They also will replace bridges over Valley Creek and North Valley Road; build three retaining walls; install 10 sound barrier walls; and put up 16 new sign structures. Travel time readers will be added to the existing intelligent transportation system and various storm water drainage enhancements will be made.

PennDOT will keep two lanes of traffic open in each direction on Route 202 during construction, although overnight lane closures and traffic pattern changes will occur during certain phases of the project.

Route 202 carries an average of 76,000 to 68,000 vehicles a day between the Swedesford Road and Route 30/Exton Bypass interchanges, respectively.

Prior to the Route 202 mainline construction, PennDOT invested $40 million to replace six bridges over the highway with longer structures to provide the space to add an additional travel lane in each direction. PennDOT also improved two nearby intersections and invested $14.7 million to install intelligent transportation equipment (33 closed-circuit television cameras; 22 dynamic message signs; and 61 incident detectors) along Route 202 in Chester and Delaware counties and on Route 100 and Route 30 in Chester County.

To assist citizens during Route 202 construction, PennDOT worked closely with federal, county and municipal officials; the Chester County Planning Commission; SEPTA; the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission; the Transportation Management Association of Chester County; and the Greater Valley Forge Transportation Management Association to develop a Congestion Mitigation Plan to alleviate traffic impacts and provide citizens with alternative transportation options during construction.

On Monday through Friday (April 18-22) from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Route 202’s northbound right shoulder will be restricted between the Westtown Road and Route 100 interchanges for the installation of conduit for Intelligent Transportation System components.

On Monday through Friday (April 18-22) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., one lane will be closed on eastbound and westbound Route 3 (West Chester Pike) at the Route 202 Interchange for overhead bridge repairs.

Motorists are advised to allow additional time to travel through the construction areas because backups and delays will occur.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $19.3 million project to rehabilitate and resurface 4.3 miles of Route 202 between the Route 100 Interchange and High Street. Construction began in May 2010 and is scheduled to finish in May 2012.

PennDOT is improving Route 202 by replacing deteriorated concrete pavement and resurfacing the four-lane expressway; reinforcing the roadway shoulders; patching and repairing eight bridges; painting steel beams on three bridges; removing and replacing five overhead sign structures; installing new highway signs; installing new guide rail and median barrier; and installing safety rumble strips and pavement reflectors.

Crews are working weekends to remove and replace deteriorated concrete from Route 202, resulting in weekend-long lane closures from Friday night to Saturday evening.

The bridges along Route 202 that are being repaired under this project include the Fernhill Road bridge over Route 202, and the Route 202 bridges over High Street, Bolmar Street, Westtown Road, Route 3, Paoli Pike, and the dual structures  carrying Route 202 over the ramp to Route 322.

Ongoing utility relocation and road widening at the southern connection to the Parkway in Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships, Montgomery County, may impact travel on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and on Route 63 (Welsh Road).

Periodic lane closures may be in place Monday through Thursday (April 18-21) between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on:

•  Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Sumneytown Pike and Route 309 (Bethlehem Pike); and

•  Route 63 (Welsh Road) from Stump Road to Bell Run Boulevard, located east of North Wales Road.

In Bucks County, motorists traveling near the Route 202 corridor will find one detour lifted and another in place for the replacement of a structurally deficient bridge in Doylestown Township.

Almshouse Road, which has been closed between Upper State Road and Lower State Road, is scheduled to reopen Monday (April 18). The day after Almshouse Road reopens to traffic, a one-way detour around Lower State Road will be put into effect for the replacement of the bridge over the Neshaminy Creek.

Almshouse Road has been closed since March 28, 2011 for improvements related to construction of the Route 202 Parkway. The Lower State Road bridge replacement is unrelated to the Parkway project.

Drivers in Doylestown Borough and on Lower State Road in Doylestown Township also may encounter periodic travel disruptions for the delivery of large concrete beams for the Parkway bridge over the Neshaminy Creek on Monday and Tuesday (April 18-19) between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.

In addition, motorists in Warrington and New Britain townships may encounter periodic lane closures on Monday through Thursday (April 18-21) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for road widening on:

•  County Line Road, between Route 202 (Butler Avenue) and Woodland Drive;

•  Route 152 (Limekiln Pike) between Stump Road and Route 202 (Butler Avenue); and

•  Upper State Road between County Line and Pickertown roads.

Wells Road in Doylestown Township remains detoured for Parkway construction between Lower State and Turk roads, and Detweiler Road is closed permanently between Stump and Upper State roads in Warrington Township.

Drivers should anticipate delays at each of the work zones and are advised to add extra time for travel through these areas. All planned activities are contingent on the weather.

PennDOT is investing more than $200 million in state funds to build the nine-mile long Route 202 Parkway in Bucks and Montgomery counties and to improve roads approaching the Parkway’s entrances.

Northbound Route 202 is expected to reopen Saturday afternoon (Feb. 5).

PennDOT advises motorists traveling north on Route 202 to follow the detour of South Gulph Road, Church Road and Henderson Road to travel around the road closure. Route 202 north remains open to motorists turning left onto Mall Boulevard.

The emergency closure of northbound Route 202 resulted from a four- to six-inch drop of a 70-foot-long section of concrete pavement on the north side of the Mall Boulevard intersection. The affected pavement is the northbound left lane. The incident may also include a ruptured municipal sewer line.

PennDOT’s contractor is on site to make the necessary repairs. Crews will remove the damaged concrete pavement and excavate underneath the highway to diagnose and correct the sub-surface problem. The repair procedure includes pumping concrete into the ground to stabilize the affected area. The concrete will require about eight hours’ curing time. Crews will resurface the northbound lane with asphalt prior to reopening the northbound side to traffic.

The average daily traffic volume on northbound Route 202 in the area of the Mall Boulevard intersection is 22,200 vehicles a day.

Concrete sidewalks will also be installed.  New traffic signals will be installed at Route 202 and Summer Ridge/Horizon Drive and sound walls will be constructed at the Summer Ridge and Gwynmere housing developments.

In addition, the contractor will build a new intersection to connect County Line Road with the new Route 202 Parkway.  The Route 202 Parkway approach to County Line Road will have two travel lanes in each direction; left turn lanes; a southbound right turn lane, and a bicycle lane on the southbound side of the new Parkway.  County Line Road will have two travel lanes in each direction; right and left turn lanes; one five-foot shoulder; and one four-foot shoulder on the southbound side that will tie into the Parkway’s shared-use path.

During construction, two lanes of through traffic will be maintained on County Line Road.

Construction is scheduled to start in March 2011 and finish in June 2014.

Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. submitted the apparent low bid to reconstruct this part of Route 202, which includes adding a third travel lane in each direction. The bid was one of four PennDOT received for this contract. The apparent low bid now must undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure that it conforms to all federal and state specifications prior to awarding the contract.

“Today’s bid opening is a milestone as we move closer to starting construction to rebuild and improve this worn and congested stretch of Route 202,” said PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso.

During the multi-stage construction project, crews will remove and replace Route 202’s old concrete pavement; widen the highway to three lanes in each direction; build a two-lane, two-mile long Collector-Distributor Road alongside northbound Route 202 to facilitate ramp moves at the Route 29 Interchange; replace bridges over Valley Creek and North Valley Road; build three retaining walls; install 10 sound barrier walls for traffic noise abatement; install 16 new sign structures; add Travel Time readers to the existing Intelligent Transportation System; install a concrete glare screen median barrier; install new drainage pipes; and construct nine storm water management basins and 10 storm water mitigation sites to enhance water quality and provide groundwater recharge to minimize impacts to the Valley Creek Watershed.

PennDOT will keep two lanes of traffic open in each direction on Route 202 during construction, although overnight lane closures will occur during certain phases of the project. The project will feature several traffic pattern changes.

This is the first of two contracts that PennDOT will move to construction to rebuild and widen 6.5 miles of Route 202 from just south of the Swedesford Road Interchange in Tredyffrin Township to the Route 30 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. The southern part of the construction corridor, which runs from just north of the Route 401 Interchange to the Route 30 Interchange, is presently in final design and roadwork is scheduled to start in early 2013.

The Route 202 improvement project is financed with 80 federal and 20 state funds.

Prior to rebuilding this section of Route 202, PennDOT invested $40 million to replace six bridges over the highway with wider structures that provide the space to add an additional travel lane in each direction, and to improve two intersections and a section of Route 401. PennDOT also invested $13.6 million for the installation of Intelligent Transportation Equipment (33 closed circuit television cameras; 22 dynamic message signs; 61 incident detectors) along Route 202 in Chester and Delaware counties and on Route 100 and Route 30 in Chester County to monitor traffic flow and inform motorists of travel conditions in and around the construction area.

US 322 East) ramp to Route 202 North in West Goshen and Westtown townships, Chester County, will reopen to traffic tomorrow (Nov. 23). The ramp has been closed for reconstruction since June 14, 2010.

Construction crews have worked over the past few months to rehabilitate and improve the High Street on-ramp by replacing deteriorated concrete pavement and resurfacing the ramp; replacing old guide rail; rebuilding shoulders; stabilizing earthen slopes adjacent to the ramp; and addressing sub-surface sinkholes underneath the shoulder of the ramp.

The High Street (Bus. US 322 East) on-ramp to Route 202 North is one of two ramps at the Route 202/High Street Interchange that PennDOT upgraded this year. Crews earlier repaired and resurfaced the southbound Route 202 off-ramp to High Street (Bus. US 322 West). This ramp was reopened to traffic on Aug. 20, 2010.

The ramp improvements are part of PennDOT’s $19,377,081 project to rehabilitate and improve 4.3 miles of Route 202 between the Route 100 and High Street interchanges. This improvement project, which started on May 25, 2010, is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

In addition to rehabilitating ramps along Route 202, crews are replacing deteriorated concrete pavement and resurfacing the four-lane expressway; reinforcing shoulders; patching and repairing eight bridges; painting steel beams on three bridges; removing and replacing five overhead sign structures; installing new highway signs, guide rail and median barrier; and adding safety rumble strips and pavement reflectors.

Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the federally-funded contract. The project is scheduled to finish in May 2012.

Route 202’s northbound right lane will be closed Sunday while crews shift two lanes of northbound traffic from the center to the right side of the highway where PennDOT is replacing the 55-year-old bridge carrying Route 202 over SEPTA-owned railroad tracks just south of the Westtown Road Interchange. The operation is dependent on the weather.

This operation marks the start of the final stage of PennDOT’s $3,717,405 project to construct a new bridge. Crews will work over the next month to rebuild the center portion of the structure. PennDOT is utilizing a multi-stage plan to keep two lanes open in each direction on Route 202 during construction.

The new Route 202 Bridge will be a single-span structure with concrete beams. It will be 68 feet long and 80 feet wide. Construction is scheduled to finish in late December 2010.

Weather permitting, crews from PECO Energy will begin moving a natural gas line at the intersection of Evans Road and Sumneytown Pike in Lower Gwynedd Township next week. Motorists traveling through the intersection will encounter lane closures and slowdowns weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Once the gas main is moved, PECO Energy electric crews will move in and relocate electric lines at the intersection. Off-peak weekday lane closures will be in effect through November.

The next location where utility relocation work is scheduled to begin for this project is Meetinghouse Road just south of Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) in Lower Gwynedd Township. PECO Energy is expected to start work to relocate a natural gas line on Meetinghouse Road in early November.

Construction crews will work the next 10 months to improve six intersections that were identified in the Route 202, Section 600 Traffic Management Plan as an early-action measure to enhance traffic flow at key intersections within the Route 202, Section 600 construction area in Montgomery County. The Route 202, Section 600 project consists of widening and improving Route 202 between Johnson Highway in Norristown and Route 309 in Montgomeryville. Three of the four sections of this project are in engineering design and one is in construction.

The intersections improvements consist of:

•  Relocating Meetinghouse Road at its intersection with Route 202/DeKalb Pike;

•  Adding a left turn lane on southbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) at the new Meetinghouse Road intersection;

•  Adding left turn lanes on Sumneytown Pike at Evans Road;

Periodic slowdowns and brief traffic stoppages may occur during the overnight operation on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Sumneytown Pike and Route 63 (Welsh Road) for the removal of existing traffic lines, painting of new lines, and other activities related to instituting a traffic pattern change.

The planned activities are weather dependent and may be postponed until the following evening in the event of rain.

The pattern change will shift Route 202’s two travel lanes two feet to the west and establish temporary “right turn in, right turn out” restrictions at the intersection with Hancock Road at the entrance to the Gwynedd Knoll development on the east side of Route 202 (DeKalb Pike). Once the new pattern is in place Tuesday morning (Sept. 14), motorists will be allowed to make right turns only from northbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) onto eastbound Hancock Road, and from westbound Hancock Road onto northbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike).

Left turns from westbound Hancock Road onto southbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and from southbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) onto eastbound Hancock Road will be prohibited under the new pattern.

Eastbound Hancock Road motorists approaching Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) will only be permitted to turn left or right onto Route 202 (DeKalb Pike). Eastbound Hancock Road motorists will not be permitted to cross over and enter Hancock Road on the east side of the highway. Turns from Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) north or south onto westbound Hancock Road will not be affected by the traffic pattern change.

The turning restrictions will remain in place until mid-2011 to allow crews to construct the next phase of widening on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike), which includes reconstruction of Route 202’s (DeKalb Pike) intersection with Hancock Road on the east side of the highway.

The two bridges over Route 202, along with five others that have been rebuilt or modified, were replaced with wider structures under the first two phases of PennDOT’s four-phase project to widen and rebuild Route 202 between North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township and the Route 30 Bypass Interchange in East Whiteland Township.

Under Phase 2, new bridges were built over Route 202 at Route 29, Swedesford Road and Cedar Hollow Road and the abandoned railroad bridge north of Cedar Hollow Road was raised, all under a $23.3 million contract that began in early 2008.

Phase 1 construction replaced Route 202 bridges at Mill Road, Church Road and Swedesford Road near Route 401 beginning in early 2007. Two intersections and a section of Route 401 in East Whiteland Township also were widened and improved under the $17.8 million Phase 1 contract, which was completed in late 2008.

The Phase 3 reconstruction and widening of 4.2 miles of Route 202 from North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township to just north of the Route 401 Interchange is scheduled to start in early 2011.

Phase 4 will complete the rebuilding of Route 202 from just north of Route 401 to the Route 30 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. This phase is currently in final design and expected to go to bid for construction in late 2012.

“We want everyone to enjoy their summer travel,” said PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E. “Taking preventive steps now will help to avoid problems or breakdowns on the road. We also encourage people to drive safely and plan ahead by using our 511PA service.”

To make sure your vehicle is in top condition, motorists should have a mechanic they trust perform a service check. A properly trained mechanic will inspect the battery, belt, hoses, air conditioning system and tires to address any potential problems before they cause a breakdown.

There are also a few things that drivers can do on their own to help ensure fewer vehicle-related problems this summer, such as:

•  Regularly check tire air pressure and tread wear.
•  Replace wiper blades that are frayed or streaking.
•  Be sure the windshield washer reservoir is filled with a summer fluid that helps remove bugs and road grime.
•  Be certain that all lights are working.
•  Check the pavement under the vehicle after it has been parked and report any suspicious fluid leaks to your mechanic.

Once your vehicle is prepared for summer travel, it’s wise to prepare yourself and your family for any long trips. Motorists can visit www.511PA.com or call 511 before they leave home to receive information on construction or other delays on interstates and major roadways.

Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle that includes water, non-perishable food, a cell phone and charger, battery-operated fans and any other specialized needs such as baby supplies, pet food or medication. In case of a breakdown, remember to never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle since even on a relatively cool summer day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise quickly.

For motorists planning long trips, follow some of these tips:

•  Try to travel in the morning or evening hours when it is cooler.
•  Get plenty of rest the night before and rotate drivers to avoid fatigue.
•  Take frequent breaks, which also help young children traveling with you.
•  Focus on the road and avoid all distractions, including cell phones.
•  Make sure everyone is buckled up and children are properly restrained in child safety seats.
•  Be patient and obey the speed limit, and especially when traveling through work zones.

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.

The closure of this part of Swedesford Road is required to build a new roadway that will connect the southern end of the Route 202 Parkway with Route 202 (DeKalb Pike). The block-long section of Swedesford Road is used regularly by commuters to avoid the intersection of Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and Route 63 (Welsh Road).

Closing the block-long section of Swedesford Road will require all traffic that normally uses the roadway as a cut through to instead use the signalized Route 202 (DeKalb Pike)/Route 63 (Welsh Road) intersection. The increased traffic and turning movements at the intersection may result in backups on northbound Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and westbound Route 63 (Welsh Road).

In addition, motorists in the area may encounter flaggers and single-lane travel conditions on Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) between Hancock Road and Route 309 and on Route 63 (Welsh Road) between Stump Road and Bell Run Boulevard on Mondays through Fridays from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. for utility relocation activities.

“Last year, four highway workers and 19 motorists died in work-zone crashes in Pennsylvania – highlighting the sudden tragedy that can occur when motorists fail to slow down and stay alert for rapidly changing traffic conditions,” said PennDOT Secretary Allen D. Biehler, P.E. “The men and women who are dedicated to improving our roads and bridges should not have to risk life and limb simply because motorists are distracted or in a hurry.”

According to PennDOT, work zone crashes and worker fatalities increased in 2009 from 2008. There were 1,513 crashes in which four workers and 19 motorists died last year, compared to 1,417 crashes and two fatalities in 2008.

As part of National Work Zone Awareness Week, PennDOT’s traveling memorial will be on display in Harrisburg from Tuesday through Friday. The memorial consists of 78 posts topped by hard hats and draped in safety vests that represent each PennDOT employee who died in the line of duty since 1970.

To reduce the risk of work zone crashes, motorists must follow the posted speed limit and pay close attention to signs and flaggers. If signs instruct you to do so, drivers are required to turn on their headlights. Finally, motorists should avoid tailgating and use four-way flashers when stopped or traveling slowly.

“Although these tips may seem like common sense, highway workers continue to see speeding and distracted drivers passing through work zones, often just a few feet away,” Biehler said.

Motorists caught driving 11 miles per hour, or more, above the posted speed limit in an active work zone, or who are involved in a crash in an active work zone and convicted for failing to drive at a safe speed, automatically lose their license for 15 days. Nearly 500 motorists had their license suspended for work zone violations last year.

In addition, fines for certain traffic violations, including speeding and driving under the influence, are doubled when they occur in active work zones.</description><pubDate>4/16/2010 12:00:00 AM</pubDate></item><item><title>Aqua PA to Restrict Traffic at South Gulph and 202</title><link>http://www.us202.com/News/Aqua-PA-to-Restrict-Traffic-at-South-Gulph-and-202-nwMFT_74.aspx</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.us202.com/News/Aqua-PA-to-Restrict-Traffic-at-South-Gulph-and-202-nwMFT_74.aspx</guid><description>King of Prussia – Aqua Pennsylvania will restrict traffic at the Route 202 and South Gulph Road intersection in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County beginning tonight through Monday morning (April 14-19) for concrete pavement restoration, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced.

PennDOT’s improvement project will be completed in two phases with separate detours.  Under phase one, Route 491 through traffic will be detoured over Route 261, Delaware Route 92 (Naamans Road), and Route 202.  During phase two, traffic will be detoured over Route 261 and Delaware Route 92 (Naamans Road).  The phase one and phase two detours are expected to take effect in spring 2011 and spring 2012 respectively.

Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Pa., is the general contractor on the $9,865,998 project that is expected to begin this spring and finish in August 2012.
