Conestoga Road Section To Close Through September For PECO Work

TREDYFFRIN TOWNSHIP, PA — A section of Conestoga Road in Tredyffrin Township will be off-limits for months, starting soon.

PECO Energy is planning to close Conestoga Road between Upper Gulph Road and Strafford Avenue in Tredyffrin Township beginning May 24, for gas main construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced this week.

The closure will be in place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Friday, Sept. 24.

During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Upper Gulph Road, Old Eagle School Road, and U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue). Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather-dependent.

PECO Energy will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
