COATESVILLE, PA — Drivers in the Coatesville and Thorndale areas should prepare for daytime and overnight delays next week as PennDOT crews continue resurfacing operations on two heavily traveled roadways.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Marshallton Thorndale Road and Embreeville Road/West Chester Road/Oak Street
- Dates: June 22-26, 2026
- Times: 9:00 AM-3:00 PM and 7:00 PM-5:00 AM
- Reason: Milling, paving, and utility adjustments
According to PennDOT, lane closures with flagging will be in place on Marshallton Thorndale Road between Louanna Avenue and Business U.S. 30 (Lincoln Highway) in Caln Township from Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26.
During the same period, similar lane restrictions will affect Embreeville Road, West Chester Road, and Oak Street between Hazelwood Avenue and 1st Avenue. The work zone extends through portions of Caln Township, West Bradford Township, East Fallowfield Township, South Coatesville Borough, and the City of Coatesville.
Flaggers will direct traffic through the work areas while crews perform milling, paving, and utility adjustment work.
No detours have been announced, but motorists should expect delays as traffic is periodically stopped and directed through active construction zones. Plan extra time for travel and seek alternate routes when possible, particularly during peak commuting hours and overnight paving operations.
The resurfacing work is part of PennDOT’s ongoing effort to repair and repave state highways throughout the region. Crews will install new asphalt pavement designed to improve ride quality, extend roadway life, and enhance safety for motorists.
All scheduled work is weather dependent and may be adjusted if conditions warrant.
Drivers traveling through the affected corridors should remain alert for flagging operations, changing traffic patterns, and construction crews working near the roadway.
