Pennsylvania’s Work Zone Safety Awareness Week, marking the unofficial start of the road construction season, runs through April 6. “Motorists who speed, drive distracted or are simply careless when traveling in a work zone pose a great safety risk to highway workers and other drivers,” said PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch. “We can prevent the needless tragedy that results from crashes in work zones if drivers pay attention and slow down. The memorial you see here includes some victims of work zone accidents that could have been prevented.” PennDOT's traveling Worker Memorial is on display in the lobby of the Keystone Building in Harrisburg this week. The memorial includes 83 posts topped by hard hats and draped in safety vests. Each post represents a PennDOT employee who died in the line of duty since 1970. In 2011 there were more than 1,800 work zone crashes in Pennsylvania, resulting in 21 deaths including one highway worker. “This is a very serious issue, and it is crucial that all motorists understand the importance of remaining alert and driving safely through work zones -- not just for the men and women working on the roads, but for the safety of all motorists,” said Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission Chief Operating Officer Craig Shuey. “Distracted driving is never a good idea, and it’s much more dangerous in a work zone.” The Pennsylvania State Police provide speed enforcement in work zones on state highways. 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 are convicted of speeding, automatically lose their license for 15 days. Nearly 600 motorists had their license suspended for work zone violations last year. “The start-up of road work season is also a good time to remind motorists about our state’s Steer Clear law,” said State Police Maj. Timothy J. Mercer. “Whether it’s a trooper on a traffic stop or a highway work crew doing repairs on the roadway shoulder, Pennsylvania law requires that motorists either pull into the left lane when possible or slow down to give responders an extra cushion of safety.” Information on work-zone safety laws and other tips are available under the “Work Zone” information center on www.DriveSafePA.org.4/4/2012 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.us202.com/News/Travel-Restrictions-Along-US-202-Parkway-nwMFT_301.aspxhttp://www.us202.com/News/Travel-Restrictions-Along-US-202-Parkway-nwMFT_301.aspxKing of Prussia - Construction to install Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) components and build the southern connection for the new Route 202 Parkway may impact travel on several state roads in Bucks and Montgomery counties next week (April 2-5), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Drivers are urged to add extra time for travel through the intersection and construction zone or to avoid the areas if possible. This work is part of the $17.8 million project to widen and improve two miles of Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) in Upper Gwynedd, Lower Gwynedd and Montgomery townships and to build the connector road between Route 202 (DeKalb Pike) and the new Route 202 Parkway.

The contractor’s schedule is dependent on the weather. The work schedule is: • Tuesday and Wednesday (April 27-28) – One lane will be closed on northbound and southbound Route 202 between Palio Pike and Route 100 interchanges in West Goshen Township between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. • Wednesday and Thursday (April 28-29) – One lane will be closed on northbound and southbound Route 202 between Route 401 and Swedesford Road interchanges in East Whiteland and Tredyffrin townships from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. • Thursday and Friday (April 29-30) – One lane will be closed on northbound and southbound Route 202 between Matlack Street and Route 322 interchanges in West Goshen Township between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. 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.4/23/2010 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.us202.com/News/PennDOT-Announces-Work-Zone-Awareness-Week-nwMFT_75.aspxhttp://www.us202.com/News/PennDOT-Announces-Work-Zone-Awareness-Week-nwMFT_75.aspxAs part of National Work Zone Awareness Week, which runs April 19 to April 23, PennDOT reminds motorists to be cautious in work zones year-round. “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.4/16/2010 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.us202.com/News/Aqua-PA-to-Restrict-Traffic-at-South-Gulph-and-202-nwMFT_74.aspxhttp://www.us202.com/News/Aqua-PA-to-Restrict-Traffic-at-South-Gulph-and-202-nwMFT_74.aspxKing 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.

Among the first major operations to commence following clearing is the building of the Parkway bridge over Mill Creek near the intersection of Detweiler Road. Blooming Glen Contractors, Inc. of Blooming Glen, Bucks County, is the general contractor on the $25,052,592 project. This contract is one of three PennDOT is employing to build the 8.6-mile long Route 202 Parkway between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 611. PennDOT began building the Parkway in November 2008 with the construction of the 1.8-mile long section between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 463 (Horsham Road) in Montgomery County. Construction is scheduled to start Monday (Jan. 18) on the northern section between Pickertown Road and Route 611 in Bucks County. The Parkway, which will have four travel lanes between Route 63 and Route 463 and two lanes between Route 463 and Route 611, is scheduled to open in late 2011. The $200 million project is financed with 100 percent state funds. The Parkway’s central section will have one travel lane in each direction with left turn lanes at all intersections and on major side roads. It also will include: • Five-foot wide paved shoulder/bicycle lanes with an additional three-foot wide shoulder for emergency access and breakdowns; • An independent 12-foot wide shared-use path serving walkers and bicyclists. Four access points to the trail will be available within this section of the Parkway; • A new bridge to carry Pickertown Road over the Parkway; • Two new structures over tributaries to the Neshaminy Creek between Route 463 (Horsham Road) and County Line Road in Montgomery Township; • A bridge carrying the Parkway over Mill Creek north of Detweiler Road; • A concrete arch structure to provide access within the segmented property of the St. John Neumann Cemetery; • Two new signalized intersections (Parkway/County Line Road and Parkway/Limekiln Pike); • Modifications to an existing traffic signal at Limekiln Pike/Upper State Road; • The installation of new traffic signal control equipment at the signalized intersections. The new signal control system will detect and collect vehicle data by processing video images and automatically optimize the traffic signal timing in response to real-time traffic demands. Pedestrian accommodations are also included at all signalized intersections including pedestrian signal heads with countdown timers; • The conversion of Detweiler Road into a cul-de-sac on both sides of the Parkway with emergency access provided; • Trailhead parking area off Stump Road near County Line Road with a total of 50 parking spaces; • 16 storm water management facilities; • 19 wetland restoration areas, 16 riparian buffer areas and a deed restricted area for stream side plantings; • Approximately 376 linear feet of retaining walls to minimize wetland impacts, stream impacts and right of way impacts. The walls will be built using a design-build process to save construction and design costs; and • Context sensitive design elements including form liner patterns and painted concrete on all roadway barriers, culverts, retaining walls and bridge surfaces to simulate a traditional, stone appearance; approximately 6,300 feet of landscaped earth berms; extensive landscaping along the roadways and trails; landscaped median islands; riparian buffer plantings along wetlands and waterways; and other aesthetic enhancements.

Lane closures will be in place on Knapp Road for the widening and reconstruction of the road and the building of the intersection with the new Parkway. The restriction will be in effect until December 2010. PennDOT began construction last November on the first of three contracts to construct the new 8.4-mile-long Parkway between Montgomeryville and Doylestown. The Parkway is expected to open in 2011. Under this initial $31.7 million contract, crews are building the 1.8 mile portion of the Parkway between Route 63 and Route 463 in Montgomery Township. J.D. Eckman Inc. of Atglen, Pa. is the general contractor. The two remaining phases, constructing the Parkway from Route 463 to Pickertown Road in Warrington Township, Bucks County, and from Pickertown Road to Route 611 in Doylestown Township, Bucks County, are expected to begin later this year.

The $3,717,405 project is scheduled to finish in November 2010. Starting this spring, PennDOT will replace the superstructure (steel I-beams and concrete deck) on the Route 202 bridge that is located between Matlack Street and the Westtown Road Interchange. The project will be built in five stages in order to keep Route 202 open to two lanes of traffic in each direction during most times of the day. PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso said the bridge’s steel beams and concrete deck have deteriorated to the extent that they must be replaced. The bridge was built in 1954. In April 2007, PennDOT installed 24 steel support columns beneath the structure to reinforce the deck and keep the bridge from being posted with a weight restriction. The bridge is 68 feet wide, 138 feet long and carries 49,000 vehicles a day. Route 202 will remain open to traffic during construction but motorists will face changing traffic patterns and lane closures during overnight hours (10 p.m. to 5 a.m.) and possibly on weekends. J.D.

Swedesford Road will be closed to through traffic between Planebrook Road/Phoenixville Pike and Church Road from 9 p.m. Thursday to 5 a.m. Friday. The closure will allow crews to complete line striping and remove construction barriers from the new overpass and its roadway approaches. Swedesford Road through traffic will be detoured over Planebrook Road, Route 30 and Church Road during this operation, which is weather dependent. The overpass is one of five structures currently under construction as part of PennDOT's ongoing project to replace or modify bridges over Route 202 to make room for a future improvement of the limited access highway between North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township and the Route 30 Bypass Interchange in East Whiteland Township.

Toaso said. “Our plan is to eventually post travel times on all our message signs in the five-county region as we install the necessary equipment and software." “Providing real-time travel information can help motorists make better decisions concerning their travel routes and help reduce driver anxiety during times of congestion,” he said. PennDOT will post travel times on message signs along: • Route 202, between Route 401 and Matlack Street. • Route 100, between Route 202 and Route 113. • Route 30, between Route 202 and Route 322. The pilot program will begin with an initial two-week test period, during which the eight message signs will display travel time information weekdays and weekends at various times. Following the test phase, PennDOT will display travel times on the message boards seven days a week from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Toaso said each of the message signs will display a three-line message to inform motorists of the travel time and distance to a certain interchange. The top line of the message will typically display the phrase “Avg. Travel Time.” Secondary lines will typically display the destination (e.g. To US 30 EXIT, To BUS 30 EXIT, To US 202 EXIT, To PA 3 EXIT, To US 322 EXIT); the distance to the destination in miles and the travel time in minutes. Minor variations may be used in situations where travel times are being posted for a specific area along the main road or along an intersecting roadway. The travel time message system is supported by a series of vehicle detectors that measure traffic information, including vehicular speed and volume along a particular section of highway. The data is collected and a computer automatically calculates travel times, refreshing message boards every 20 seconds. Toaso said travel time information will be the default message throughout the day on these message boards; however, it will be replaced by a higher priority message in the event of an incident or emergency on the highway, hazardous weather condition or an AMBER alert. PennDOT installed 58 vehicle detectors and 18 dynamic message signs along routes 202, 30 and 100 during the recently completed $13 million project that added Intelligent Transportation System components on the highways. Also installed were 33 closed-circuit television cameras that are used by PennDOT to monitor traffic flow. PennDOT plans to follow up on the pilot program by posting travel time information on Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway), where Intelligent Transportation System equipment is currently being installed between Interstate 476 and Passyunk Avenue as part of a $23 million project. 11/10/2008 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.us202.com/News/Weekend-Closures-on-Northbound-US-202-nwMFT_30.aspxhttp://www.us202.com/News/Weekend-Closures-on-Northbound-US-202-nwMFT_30.aspxNorthbound Route 202 will be reduced from two lanes to one between the Route 30 and Route 252 interchanges in East Whiteland and Tredyffrin townships, Chester County, on Saturday and Sunday (Oct. 18-19) from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for resurfacing, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.

Construction is expected to start in December. J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Pa. submitted the apparent low bid to build the 1.8-mile-long portion of the parkway between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 463 (Horsham Road) in Montgomery Township, Montgomery County. The bid was one of seven PennDOT received to build this section of the Parkway. The apparent low bid now must undergo a thorough evaluation to ensure that it conforms to all state specifications prior to the award of the contract. "Today's bid opening is a milestone for all those who have worked many years for a new roadway to improve travel and reduce congestion between Montgomeryville and Doylestown," PennDOT District Executive Lester C. Toaso said. "The wait for the Parkway is nearly over as construction soon will begin to provide additional capacity on this overcrowded stretch of the Route 202 Corridor." This contract is the first of three to proceed to construction to build the new Parkway, which will have four travel lanes between Route 63 and Route 463, and two lanes between Route 463 and Route 611. Bid openings for the two remaining construction contracts are scheduled for early 2009. Construction of the entire Parkway is scheduled to finish in 2011. The cost to design and build the Parkway is $200 million. On the four-lane section between Route 63 (Welsh Road) and Route 463 (Horsham Road), the Parkway will have two travel lanes in each direction with left turn lanes at all intersections and on major side roads. It also will include: * Five-foot wide paved shoulder/bicycle lanes with an additional three-foot wide shoulder for emergency access and breakdowns. * A new connection road between Costco Drive and General Hancock Boulevard. * Two connector roads between the Parkway and Route 309. * Five new signalized intersections including Parkway/Knapp Road; Parkway/Connector Road "A" to 309; Parkway/Costco Drive; Parkway/Horsham Road; and Knapp Road/Withwood Drive. * A new 117-foot long, one-span bridge carrying the Parkway over Route 309. * A new at-grade bridge over a tributary to the Neshaminy Creek north of Knapp Road. * Two new arch culverts over tributaries to the Little Neshaminy Creek and the extension of an existing box culvert on Route 309. * Approximately 1,300 linear feet of retaining walls to minimize wetland impacts, stream impacts and right of way impacts. The walls will be built using a design-build process to save construction and design costs. * Modifications to the existing signal at Route 309/Garden Golf Boulevard to include Connector Road "A" as the fourth leg. * The installation of new traffic signal control equipment at the new signalized intersections. The new signal control system will detect and collect vehicle data by processing video images and automatically optimize the traffic signal timing in response to real-time traffic demands. Pedestrian accommodations are also included at all signalized intersections including pedestrian signal heads with countdown timers. * Independent 12-foot wide shared-use path serving walkers and bicyclists. Nine access points to the trail will be available within this section of the Parkway. * 10 storm water management facilities * Seven bio-retention areas to promote storm water infiltration and improved water quality * Trailhead parking areas off Route 309 and Knapp Road with a total of 101 parking spaces. * Context sensitive design elements including form liner patterns and painted concrete on all roadway barriers, culverts, retaining walls and bridge surfaces to simulate a traditional, stone appearance; 2,900 feet of landscaped earth berms; extensive landscaping along the roadways and trails; landscaped median islands; riparian buffer plantings along wetlands and waterways; and other aesthetic enhancements. Toaso said PennDOT is presently finalizing the engineering plans and acquiring the necessary property to build the two remaining sections of the Parkway between Route 463 and Pickertown Road and between Pickertown Road and Route 611. Construction on these sections is expected to start in mid-2009.9/18/2008 12:00:00 AMhttp://www.us202.com/News/Bridge-Work-on-Route-202-Slated-for-Sept.-13th-nwMFT_27.aspxhttp://www.us202.com/News/Bridge-Work-on-Route-202-Slated-for-Sept.-13th-nwMFT_27.aspxKING OF PRUSSIA, PA - Route 202 motorists in Chester County will encounter overnight lane closures and periodic stoppages Saturday (Sept. 13) for bridge work north of the Route 30 Interchange in East Whiteland Township, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced today. Northbound and southbound Route 202 will be reduced to a single lane in each direction Saturday morning from 12:01 a.m. to 10 a.m. at the Swedesford Road overpass, located between the Route 30 and Route 401 interchanges. Full stoppages of up to 15 minutes in duration also will occur on Route 202 when crews set four new concrete beams for the northern half of the Swedesford Road overpass. Work on the bridge also will close Swedesford Road between Planebrook Road/ Phoenixville Pike and Church Road from 10 p.m. Friday until 10 a.m. Saturday. A posted detour will take through traffic over Church Road, Route 30 and Planebrook Road. The scheduled operation is weather dependent. Scheduled lane and road closures will be postponed until Saturday night/Sunday morning in the event of rain. The Swedesford Road overpass is one of five structures currently under construction as part of PennDOT's ongoing project to replace or modify seven bridges over Route 202. The bridges are being replaced to make room for a future improvement of the limited access highway between North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township and the Route 30 Bypass Interchange in East Whiteland Township.
