COATESVILLE, PA — Drivers traveling eastbound on U.S. 30 (Coatesville-Downingtown Bypass) should prepare for overnight delays next week as PennDOT begins milling and paving work across multiple Chester County municipalities.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: U.S. 30 (Coatesville-Downingtown Bypass) — eastbound between Bailey Road Overpass and Business U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway)
- Dates: Tuesday, April 7 – Friday, April 10
- Times: 8:00 PM – 5:00 AM (overnight)
- Reason: Milling and paving under roadway improvement project
The lane closure will be in place nightly from 8:00 PM through 5:00 AM the following morning, impacting travel through Coatesville as well as Caln, Sadsbury, Valley, and West Caln townships.
No formal detour has been announced, but drivers should expect congestion through the work zone. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes where possible, including using Business U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) to bypass the closure area.
Plan extra time and expect backups, particularly during peak overnight travel hours. All work is weather dependent and could be rescheduled if conditions change.
The work is part of a $9.3 million PennDOT project aimed at improving safety and extending the life of the roadway. Crews will mill the existing pavement, complete base repairs, apply new asphalt overlay, reinstall rumble strips, and refresh pavement markings along the western section of the bypass.
Allan Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Pennsylvania, is serving as the general contractor. The project is fully funded by the state.
