King of Prussia, PA – U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) motorists will encounter lane closures in both directions next week under a project to repair and resurface approximately six miles of the highway in Chadds Ford and Concord townships, Delaware County, and Pennsbury Township, Chester County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedules and locations are:

• Monday, October 3, from 9:00 AM, through 6:00 AM Thursday, October 7, a long-term lane closure is scheduled in both directions on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) between U.S. 202 (Wilmington/West Chester Pike) and Fairville Road in Chadds Ford Township, Delaware County and Pennsbury Township, Chester County for concrete repair; and
• Sunday, October 2, through Friday, October 7, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM the following morning, periodic lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) between U.S. 202 (Wilmington/West Chester Pike) and Pole Cat Road in Concord Township for paving.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) improvement project, PennDOT's contractor will mill, overlay, and rehabilitate the existing pavement; perform concrete patching and concrete base repair as needed; construct new concrete curbed median; install new pavement markings, rumble strips, delineators, and signs; and upgrade guiderail and curb ramps.

Allan Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $13.7 million project, which is financed with 80% federal and 20% state funds.
