Welcome

The second phase of bridge replacements is now underway. Work under this contract will replace structures over US 202 in the vicinity of the PA 29/Great Valley Interchange and includes bridges at

  • PA 29/Morehall Road
  • Swedesford Road
  • Cedar Hollow Road
All three will remain open during construction. Off-peak and nighttime lane restrictions may be in place on the PA 29/Morehall Road bridge.

In addition, the second year of improvements that began in 2007 finds one bridge rebuilt, a second bridge at the halfway point in its reconstruction, and work underway to replace the third and final overpass.

Construction wrapped up on the new Mill Lane overpass late in 2007. Construction also began last year on a second nearby bridge that carries Swedesford Road (south) over Route 202. This structure is being replaced a-half-at-a-time to avoid a detour of Swedesford Road traffic.

A third  bridge, the Church Road overpas located immediately south of the Route 401 Interchange in East Whiteland, was closed for replacement in March 2008.

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.
