DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — PECO Energy has announced plans for utility construction on Route 252 (Providence Road) in Media Borough and Nether Providence Township beginning Monday, January 6, 2025. The project is part of ongoing infrastructure improvements in the area.
The construction will take place on weekdays through Wednesday, April 2, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, requiring the closure of Route 252 between Worrall Street and Locust Lane. Passenger vehicles will be detoured via Baltimore Avenue, Manchester Avenue, and Wallingford Avenue, while large trucks will be directed along Baltimore Avenue/Baltimore Pike and Route 320 (Cedar Lane, Swarthmore Avenue, and Chester Road). Local access will be maintained for properties near the work zone.
Motorists traveling near the area are advised to anticipate traffic delays and plan for additional travel time. PECO’s work schedule is dependent on weather conditions, and adjustments may occur if necessary.
This utility construction project is being carried out in compliance with a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
