DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced an upcoming resurfacing initiative in Delaware County, aimed at enhancing the road quality along U.S. 202, also known as Wilmington Pike. This effort is scheduled to commence on Sunday, September 29, and will extend through Friday, October 4, focusing on the stretch between the Delaware State line and Oakland Road, spanning the townships of Concord and Chadds Ford.

To facilitate the milling and paving operations, alternating lane closures will be implemented in both directions during nighttime hours, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning. This schedule is designed to minimize disruption during peak travel times; however, motorists should anticipate delays and plan their journeys accordingly.

PennDOT advises drivers to allow for additional travel time while navigating these work zones. Given the potential for traffic congestion and bottlenecks, commuters are encouraged to exercise patience and caution. It’s imperative to note that the timeline for these activities is contingent upon favorable weather conditions and may be adjusted if necessary.

Residents and travelers seeking real-time updates on traffic conditions and detour routes are urged to visit the MyChesCo Traffic Center.
