US 322 work gets underway

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announces preliminary construction is scheduled to begin Monday, March 20, on the first of two mainline projects to widen and reconstruct a 6.7-mile section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Route 452 (Market Street) in Concord, Bethel and Upper Chichester townships.

From 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday, March 20-Friday, March 24, U.S. 322 motorists will encounter single lane conditions between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Evergreen Drive, for clearing operations. Traffic will be controlled by flagging.

This preliminary work is part of a $62.7 million project to improve travel and safety on the first section, or western section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) from U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) to just east of Mattson Road/ Featherbed Lane near Clayton Park in Concord Township, by widening the highway from two lanes to four lanes with a grass median separating the eastbound and westbound travel lanes.

The scope of work on the first section also includes:

• Reconstructing, widening and upgrading five intersections to provide four through lanes and turn lanes on U.S. 322 at Evergreen Drive, Fellowship Drive/Station Road, Cambridge Drive, Featherbed Lane/Mattson Road and Clayton Park Drive

• Upgrading traffic signals on U.S. 322 at U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike), Evergreen Drive, Fellowship Drive/ Station Road and Featherbed Lane/Mattson Road

• Eliminating through and left turn movements on Spring Valley Road, Merion Drive, Cambridge Drive, Station Road and Clayton Park Drive

• Installing three dynamic message signs, six closed circuit TV cameras, and Bluetooth tag readers to optimize traffic flow

In addition, the bridge carrying U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) over SEPTA/Webb Creek and the bridge over Smith Bridge Road will be replaced. Five retaining walls and a sound barrier will also be constructed in this section.

During construction, U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Clayton Park Drive will remain open to one lane of traffic in each direction during peak travel times. Periodic flagger-controlled lane restrictions may occur 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. for various operations as construction advances along the corridor.

Work on the first mainline section of U.S. 322 is scheduled to be completed in fall 2020.

PennDOT has launched a new website — us322conchester.com — to keep motorists and residents informed during the reconstruction and widening of U.S. 322. The site provides updated construction details and photos, graphics showing improvements at each intersection, travel information for commuters, a form for submitting questions or comments, and an email subscription service for receiving news and other information about the project.
