CHESTER COUNTY, PA — Drivers traveling through the busy U.S. 202 and Route 926 intersection should prepare for daytime lane restrictions and delays next week as PennDOT continues a traffic improvement project in Thornbury and Westtown townships.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and Route 926 (Street Road)
- Dates: Monday, May 11 – Friday, May 15
- Times: 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
- Reason: Traffic signal construction and intersection improvements
A weekday lane closure with flagging operations will remain in place through the intersection of U.S. 202 (Wilmington Pike) and Route 926 (Street Road) during daytime construction hours.
Drivers should expect backups and slower travel through the heavily used corridor, especially during midday traffic periods. Motorists are encouraged to plan extra time and seek alternate routes where possible.
The $2.9 million project is designed to improve traffic flow and reduce crashes at the intersection. Planned upgrades include a new southbound right-turn deceleration lane on U.S. 202 and an additional eastbound left-turn lane on Route 926, creating a double left-turn configuration approaching Wilmington Pike.
Additional improvements include upgraded traffic signals, ADA curb ramp enhancements, and milling and paving operations throughout the intersection area.
All scheduled construction activities are weather dependent and may be adjusted if conditions change.
