This work is part of a $3.4 million project to repair and resurface over 13 miles of state highway in Chester County.
Additional state highways resurfaced under this contract include:
• U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) between Dilworthtown Road and the U.S. 202 Expressway Interchange in Westtown, West Goshen, Thornbury and Birmingham townships;
• Birmingham Road between Route 52 (Lenape Road) and Route 842 (Miner Street) in East Bradford Township;
• Route 842 (Creek Road/West Miner Street) between Brandywine Creek and South High Street in East Bradford Township and West Chester Borough;
• Route 401 (Conestoga Road) between French Bridge and Iron Stone Lane in West Nantmeal Township; and
• Route 926 (Street Road) between Cheyney Road and Route 3 (West Chester Pike) in Willistown, Westtown, and Thornbury townships.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill off the existing roadway surface and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
All work on the entire project is expected to be completed in July 2017.
