Route 100 daytime lane restrictions scheduled

Weekday lane restrictions are scheduled in both directions on Route 100 between Black Horse Road and Route 23 (Ridge Road) in Upper Uwchlan, West Vincent, East Nantmeal, and South Coventry townships, on Monday, Aug. 6 through Friday, Aug. 10 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for guardrail installation and other construction activities related to a project to improve traffic flow and safety along a 6.3-mile section of Route 100, PennDOT announced.

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.

As part of this project, 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 shoulder-widening 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, 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.
