Widening and Reconstruction in 2012

Construction is underway to widen and reconstruct four miles of the US Route 202 Expressway between the overpass at North Valley Road in Tredyffrin Township and the overpass at the Valley Creek, just north of the Route 401 Exit in East Whiteland Township.

The project (Section 320) is the third-of-four phases of the overall Route 202, Section 300 initiative that began in 2007 with the replacement of three bridges and improvements to roads and intersections along the corridor. Phase 2 construction in 2009 and 2010 replaced three additional overpasses. The longer structures provide room for the widening that is now set to get underway.

During all upcoming work on Route 202, PennDOT will maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction during periods of heavy use to minimize the impact of construction on users of the busy commuter route. We look forward to utilizing this website to keep you informed about the progress of construction and any planned off-peak or weekend lane restrictions that may occur.

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.
