Road Closure

On Tuesday, June 25, and Wednesday, June 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Route 82 (Creek Road) will be closed between Old Kennett Road in Kennett Township, Chester County and Snuff Mill Road in New Castle County, Delaware, for pipe replacement. During the closure, motorists are directed to use Snuff Mill Road and Old Kennett Road.

Daytime Utility Construction Planned on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in Kennett, East Marlborough Townships:

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that utility relocation will continue next week on U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) under a $10.4 million project to widen and improve a 1.3-mile section of the highway from the Kennett Oxford Bypass to Greenwood Road in Kennett and East Marlborough townships, Chester County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

•Tuesday, May 28, through Wednesday, August 28, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a weekday lane closure is scheduled on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) from Greenwood Road to just south of Schoolhouse Road.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will mill and overlay U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike); construct a third travel lane on certain sections of U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) in each direction and use existing shoulders and right turn lanes to create a third lane for the rest of the corridor; build sidewalks along the north side of U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) from Schoolhouse Road to the Longwood Village Shopping Center entrance; eliminate the left turn movement from Orchard Avenue onto U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike); install two new Dynamic Message Signs; and upgrade five signalized intersections within the corridor.
