U.S. 30 East Ramp to U.S. 202 North Restriction Scheduled Next Week for Bridge Rehabilitations over Amtrak in Chester County
King of Prussia, PA – The ramp from eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass to northbound U.S. 202 will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one at night next week for overhead bridge construction in East Whiteland and West Whiteland townships, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The ramp restrictions will be in place Sunday, June 4, through Thursday, June 8, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, and from 8:00 PM Friday, June 9, to 10:00 AM Saturday, June 10, as crews complete installation of shielding on the underside of the northbound U.S. 202 bridge over Amtrak and the adjacent ramp, and begin demolition of half the bridge’s concrete deck and parapets.
Eastbound U.S. 30 motorists should expect backups and slow moving traffic when approaching the ramp to northbound U.S. 202.
In addition, motorists are advised that one-of-the-two lanes on the ramp from southbound U.S. 202 to U.S. 30/Exton Bypass remain closed for the replacement of deteriorated concrete pavement. Southbound U.S. 202 motorists will encounter backups approaching the U.S. 30 Interchange, especially during peak travel times. Drivers heading to the U.S. 30/Exton Bypass and Business U.S. 30 should remain in the right lane on southbound U.S. 202 approaching the interchange, leaving the center and left lane for motorists continuing south on U.S. 202.
The work is part of a $26.4 million project to complete the final phase of the U.S. 202 Section 300 improvement project, which includes the rehabilitation of two U.S. 202 bridges over Amtrak rail lines.
Allan A Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $26,370,555 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
