Nighttime restrictions
PennDOT announces nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled next week on several state highways as part of an improvement project to repair and resurface 18 miles of state highway in Delaware County. The work schedule is: • From 6 p.m.-6 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10-Thursday, Sept. 14, lane restrictions are scheduled on Orange Street between Baltimore Avenue and Kirk Lane in Media Borough and Upper Providence Township, for milling
• 7 p.m.-5 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 10-Thursday, Sept. 14, lane restrictions are scheduled on Brookhaven Road between Route 352 (Edgmont Avenue) and Route 252 (Providence Road) in Nether Providence Township and Rose Valley and Brookhaven boroughs, for base repair and paving

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work areas because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor’s
schedule is dependent on the weather.
Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include: Rogers Lane/Plush Mill Road/Wallingford Road between Turner Road and
Baltimore Pike in Nether Providence and Springfield townships; Lungren Road/ Parkmount Road/Glen Riddle Road between Lenni Road and Route 352 (New Middletown Road) in Middletown Township; Knowlton Road between Route 452 (Pennell Road) and Route 352 (New Middletown Road) in Aston and Middletown townships; Gradyville Road between Route 352 (Middletown Road) and Crum Creek Bridge in Edgmont Township; Providence Road between Route 252 (Palmers Mill Road) and the Chester County line in Upper Providence and Edgmont townships; and Sweetwater Road between Creek Road and Valley Road in Thornbury and Edgmont townships.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface. Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in mid-November. Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $4,098,777 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

allow extra time for travel through the work areas, or use an alternate route. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
PennDOT began construction 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.
Work on the first mainline section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) is scheduled to be completed in late 2020.
J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. Engineering design is advancing for the widening and reconstruction of the eastern section (Section 102) of the highway from just east of Clayton Park
Drive to just east of Route 452 (Market Street). Construction on this section is expected to start in 2019.
An additional contract to replace the U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) bridge over the CSX railroad and Bethel Road as well as improvements to the adjacent
Bethel Road Interchange is under design.
