DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Motorists who frequent southbound U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) in Delaware County should brace for potential delays as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) sets its sights on stormwater management improvements. This initiative is part of a comprehensive $14.9 million project aimed at enhancing stormwater facilities across more than 90 state highways within the five-county Philadelphia region.
Scheduled to commence on Monday, April 29, and continue through Friday, May 3, the work will necessitate a lane closure on southbound U.S. 202, stretching from US 1 (Baltimore Pike) to Hillman Drive. The operation, which falls between the hours of 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM, is focused on replacing stormwater systems in Chadds Ford and Concord townships, a critical move to ensure better water management along this busy corridor.
Given the nature of the work and its timing during daylight hours, PennDOT advises drivers to anticipate slower traffic flow and potential backups in the vicinity of the construction zone. Commuters are recommended to allocate additional travel time or seek alternative routes to circumvent the affected stretch of highway.
Travelers navigating through Chadds Ford and Concord townships during this period are counseled to exercise patience and plan ahead, keeping informed of the latest traffic updates and adjustments.
