King of Prussia, PA – – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that paving and concrete patching operations will take place next week on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) 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.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

• Sunday, October 9, through Friday, October 14, from 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, periodic lane closures are scheduled in both directions on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) between Pole Cat Road and U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) for paving; and
• From 9:00 AM Monday, October 10, to 4:00 PM Friday, October 14, a 24-hour lane closure is scheduled in both directions on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) between Chadds Ford School Drive/Fairville Road and U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) for concrete patching.
  

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

Under this 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 $14.8 million project, which is financed with 80% federal and 20% state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com or downloading the 511PA mobile application. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
