    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction activities are planned on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway), Route 452 (Market Street), and Bethel Avenue under a $99.4 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve travel and safety on a 1.4-mile section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County.

    Motorists are advised of periodic lane closures on Sunday, December 8, through Wednesday, December 11, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for excavation, temporary paving, and barrier placement at the following locations:

    This project, Section 103, will reconstruct and widen the two-lane section of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) to four travel lanes and upgrade traffic signals between Chelsea Parkway/Bethel Avenue and the four-lane section east of Cherry Tree Road.

    Section 103 also includes widening to add turn lanes and re-aligning the Cherry Tree/Bethel Avenue intersection; reconstructing the pavement and widening the shoulders of the four-lane, barrier-separated segment of U.S. 322 from east of Cherry Tree Road to approaching the CSX bridge at Bethel Road; and reconstructing and reconfiguring the U.S. 322/Route 452 (Market Street) Interchange, adding turn lanes and ramps from a widened Bethel Avenue.
