CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Drivers across the region should prepare for rolling slowdowns next week as PennDOT crews fan out to repair potholes on major state highways.
Maintenance work is scheduled on several high-traffic corridors, including U.S. 1 (Kennett-Oxford Bypass) in New Garden Township; U.S. 30 (Coatesville-Downingtown Bypass) through Valley, Caln, East Caln, and West Whiteland townships; and U.S. 202 in West Whiteland, East Goshen, East Whiteland, and Tredyffrin townships.
Additional repairs are planned for Route 23 (Ridge Road) in East Coventry and East Vincent townships; Route 41 (Gap-Newport Pike) in London Grove Township; Route 100 (Pottstown Pike Spur) in West Goshen and West Whiteland townships; Route 724 (Schuylkill Road) in North Coventry and East Coventry townships; and Old Baltimore Pike in Lower Oxford Township.
PennDOT advises motorists to expect periodic lane closures and possible slowdowns during daytime work hours. While no formal detours are planned, drivers should anticipate intermittent backups, especially during peak commuting periods. Plan extra time, reduce speed in work zones, and remain alert for crews and changing traffic patterns.
Since January 1, PennDOT District 6 has logged more than 1,400 pothole-related concerns across the five-county Philadelphia region.
