Wolf administration announces work on state highway

The Wolf administration announced Wednesday that construction is scheduled to begin Friday on a $2 million project to repair and resurface 13 miles of state highway in Chester County.

“Resurfacing projects like this are designed to improve the safety and ride-ability of our highways,” Gov. Tom Wolf said. “This project will provide a smoother and safer ride for those motorists who live, work and visit Chester County.”

On Friday 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., lane restrictions are scheduled on Isabella Road between Chestnut Tree Road and Creek Road in West Nantmeal Township, for paving.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work zones because slowdowns will occur. The contractor’s schedule is dependent on the weather.

The additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include:

• North Wayne Avenue/Upper Gulph Road/Radnor Road between the Delaware County Line and the Montgomery County Line in Tredyffrin Township;

• Coldstream Road between Hares Hill Road and Kimberton Road in East Pikeland Township;

• Flowing Springs Road/ Hollow Road between Birchrun Road Bridge and St. Matthews Road in West Vincent Township;

• Hanover Street between Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) and the Schuylkill River in North Coventry Township;

• Marshall Street/Goshen Road/Phoenixville Pike between North High Street and Saunders Lane in West Chester Borough and West Goshen Township;

• South 13th Avenue/Oliver Street/Caln Road between Business U.S. 30 and Business U.S. 30 in the City of Coatesville and Caln Township;

• Birdell Road between just south of Hill Road and U.S. 322 in Honey Brook Township;

• Harmonyville Road/ Laurelwood Road/Neiman Road between just west of Cherry Hill Lane and South Hanover Street in North Coventry Township;

• Temple Road/Sheep Hill Road/Cedarville Road/ Laurelwood Road between Temple Road and Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) in North Coventry Township;

• North Chestnut Street between Route 23 (Main Street) and the Berks County Line in Elverson Borough; and

• Phoenixville Pike between Saunders Lane and Andrew Drive in West Goshen Township.

Work on the project is expected to be completed in late October.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill the existing roadway surface and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
