CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Daytime lane closures will continue for more than three months on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in Kennett and East Marlborough townships, as a major roadway widening and improvement project moves forward.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) (Greenwood Road to Kennett Oxford Bypass)
- Dates: Friday, April 17 – Friday, July 31
- Times: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM (weekdays)

PennDOT said lane closures will occur in both directions between Greenwood Road and the Kennett Oxford Bypass, with traffic reduced during active work hours.
Drivers should plan extra time, expect delays, and consider alternate routes when traveling through the corridor, especially during midday hours.
The $10.4 million project will widen a 1.3-mile section of U.S. 1, adding a third travel lane in key segments and reconfiguring shoulders and turn lanes to improve traffic flow. Additional work includes milling and paving, sidewalk construction near Longwood Village, signal upgrades at five intersections, new dynamic message signs, and changes to turning movements at Orchard Avenue.
