Welcome

Bridges carrying Route 29/Morehall Road and Swedesford Road (north) at the Route 29/Great Valley Interchange, will remain under construction through the middle of 2010. The bridges are being replaced under the first two phases of a four-phase program to improve Route 202 from North Valley Road, in Tredyffrin Township, to the Route 30 Interchange, in East Whiteland Township.

The bridges are being replaced with longer structures to provide room for improvements that will take place on the expressway during the final two phases of the overall project to reconstruct Route 202 from North Valley Road, in Tredyffrin Township, to the US Route 30 Interchange in East Whiteland Township. Expressway reconstruction could begin in 2011. Read more.

 


Q. When will the railroad bridge be repainted?

A.The bridge will be repainted as part of Section 320 construction. Originally, the bridge was to be repainted under the Section 311 project. But that plan would have required extensive and expensive traffic control measures, with nighttime lane closures to sand blast and repaint small sections in time to reopen the lane by the following morning. Instead, the bridge will be sanded and repainted in larger sections when traffic is shifted for extended periods while the roadway is rebuilt, all at a significant savings.
