TINICUM TWP, PA — Motorists navigating through Tinicum Township in Delaware County should anticipate significant traffic delays in the coming weeks. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that Sunoco Pipeline LP is set to initiate pipe maintenance operations along Route 291 (Industrial Highway), starting Monday, May 6.
The maintenance work, slated to run through Friday, May 31, will involve periodic lane closures on the westbound section of Route 291, stretching from Bartram Avenue to Jansen Avenue. These disruptions are scheduled to take place between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM on weekdays, signaling a potential bottleneck for daily commuters and travelers in the area.
Given the expected impact on traffic flow, PennDOT advises drivers to plan for additional travel time when passing through the affected stretch of Route 291. The presence of work crews and equipment, coupled with the reduction in available lanes, is likely to result in significant backups and slower movement through Tinicum Township during the designated work hours.
With all scheduled activities being contingent upon favorable weather conditions, drivers are encouraged to stay informed about potential schedule adjustments. Commuters might also consider seeking alternative routes to avoid the work zone altogether, thereby minimizing personal delays and contributing to smoother traffic management around the maintenance site.
