CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Motorists who rely on Bondsville Road between East Brandywine and Caln townships should prepare for a long-term closure beginning June 22 as PennDOT starts a retaining wall replacement project expected to last through late November.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Bondsville Road, Route 340 (Kings Highway), U.S. 30 (Coatesville Downingtown Bypass), U.S. 322 (Horseshoe Pike)
- Dates: Monday, June 22, through Tuesday, November 24
- Times: 24 hours a day, seven days a week
- Reason: Retaining wall replacement and roadway reconstruction
PennDOT said Bondsville Road will be closed around the clock between Fisherville Road and Bailey Road beginning Monday, June 22, as crews replace a deteriorating retaining wall and stabilize the roadway embankment near Beaver Creek.
During the closure, drivers will be directed to use Route 340 (Kings Highway), U.S. 30 (Coatesville Downingtown Bypass), and U.S. 322 (Horseshoe Pike) to travel around the work zone.
Local access will be maintained throughout the project.
The $1.9 million project includes construction of a new retaining wall along approximately 140 feet of roadway, installation of guiderail, reconstruction of roughly 400 feet of roadway and shoulders, and additional pavement improvements.
Because the closure is expected to remain in place for more than five months, motorists should expect significant changes to travel patterns and increased traffic along the detour route. Plan extra time for trips through the area and seek alternate routes when practical.
All scheduled work is weather dependent.
