Roadwork In Tredyffrin, Chester County To Cause Lane Restrictions

Motorists traveling on U.S. 202 in Tredyffrin and other communities in Chester County will encounter travel restrictions Thursday night for line painting, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

An alternating “rolling lane closure” will be in place on the northbound and southbound sides of U.S. 202 between the Route 401 and Chesterbrook interchanges in East Whiteland and Tredyffrin townships, respectively, from 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, to 5 a.m. Friday, Aug. 14.

A painting crew will be placing lane markings in the widened and reconstructed six-lane section of the expressway.

If postponed due to rain, crews will instead be working between 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14, and 5 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 15.

The line painting operation is part of a $104.4 million project to expand nearly four miles of U.S. 202 between the Route 252 (Swedesford Road) and Route 401 interchanges.

PennDOT opened this section to six lanes last fall. The general contractor, Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J., returned in the spring to complete post-construction “punch list” work on the rebuilt section.

According to PennDOT, the project is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
