CHADDS FORD, PA — Drivers traveling through Chadds Ford Township should plan for daytime delays starting this week as PennDOT begins a safety improvement project along a busy stretch of Creek Road.
PennDOT announced that boardwalk construction is scheduled on Creek Road between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Upper Bank Drive, with weekday lane closures running from Thursday, January 8, through Friday, February 27. The work will take place daily from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a window that officials say is intended to limit peak-hour disruptions but will still cause traffic slowdowns.
Motorists should expect backups and intermittent delays while crews work in the travel lane. PennDOT advised drivers to allow extra time when traveling through the area and to remain alert near the work zone. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The project is part of a local safety improvement effort aimed at enhancing conditions along Creek Road, a corridor that sees steady commuter and local traffic and serves as a key connector to U.S. 1.
With nearly seven weeks of daytime lane restrictions planned, traffic patterns in the area are expected to fluctuate as work progresses. Motorists are urged to plan ahead and monitor conditions closely.
