UPPER UWCHALN » Motorists will encounter daytime and nighttime lane restrictions in both directions next week on Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road) in Upper Uwchlan, West Vincent, East Nantmeal and South Coventry townships, Chester County, for construction activities related to a project to improve traffic flow and safety along a 6.3-mile section of Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The work schedule is: • Monday, July 9, through Friday, July 13, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road), for guide rail installation; and
• Monday, July 9, through Friday, July 13, from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road), for paving.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work zone because slowdowns and backups will occur during construction. The contractor’s schedule is weather dependent.
Over the next several months, crews are working to improve the stretch of Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) between Garrison Drive and Route 23 (Ridge Road). The scope of work includes constructing two shoulderwidening pull-offs; installing pavement markings, rumble strips, and guide rail; and resurfacing the corridor with an open-graded surface treatment (NovaChip) to increase friction and reduce hydroplaning.
In addition, PennDOT’s contractor will improve the intersection of Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) and Route 23 (Ridge Road) by constructing a dedicated northbound left-turn lane as well as updating traffic signals.
Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $5.6 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in late summer.
