Traffic Advisory: Lane Closures on West Chester Bypass for Paving Operations in Chester County

Traffic Alert

CHESTER COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that roadway construction will continue next week under a $3.6 million project to improve travel and safety along a 2.87-mile section of U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) in East Bradford and West Goshen townships, Chester County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

  • Sunday, August 6, through Friday, August 11, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, periodic lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) in both directions between U.S. 322 (Downingtown Pike) and U.S. 202 for paving operations.

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

PennDOT’s safety improvement project on U.S. 322 (West Chester Bypass) aims to enhance the movement of motorists and bicyclists. It includes lane narrowing, extended acceleration lanes, new traffic signals, bicycle-friendly shoulders, rumble strips, guide rail replacements, and wrong-way countermeasures. The project spans from U.S. 322 (Downingtown Pike) to U.S. 202, with intersection improvements at North New Street, Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), Penn Drive, Phoenixville Pike, and U.S. 202.

Allan Myers of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Construction on the project is expected to finish this winter.
