Upcoming Swale Reconstruction: Traffic Alert for Lower Valley Road, Atglen Borough and West Sadsbury Township

Lane closures with flagging

ATGLEN, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that swale reconstruction will occur next week on Route 372 (Lower Valley Road) in Atglen Borough and West Sadsbury Township, Chester County.

The work schedule and location are:

  • Monday, July 31, through Friday, August 11, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a lane closure with flagging is scheduled on Route 372 (Lower Valley Road) approaching the Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) intersection.

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.

This work is part of a PennDOT project that was substantially completed in May to replace the bridge that carries Route 372 (Lower Valley Road) over Officers Run. PennDOT’s contractor replaced the structure with a single-span, prestressed concrete composite, adjacent box beam bridge. It replaces the former two-span, reinforced concrete slab bridge which was built in 1937.

This project also included the realignment and restriping of the Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) painted median and the replacement of the traffic signal at the Route 372 (Lower Valley Road) and Route 41 (Gap Newport Pike) intersection.

Other project improvements included pipe culvert installation, aerial and underground gas utility relocations and wetland enhancements.

Mumford and Miller Concrete, Inc., of Middletown, Delaware, is the general contractor on the $3 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
