    U.S. 30 Sinkhole Remediation Project

    Project Overview

    County: Chester County
    Municipality: West Whiteland Township
    State Route: U.S. 30
    Local Name: Exton Bypass
    Project Type: Sinkhole Remediation
    MPMS Number: 104807
    Last Updated: September 2025

    This project involves permanent repairs to sinkholes at two spots along U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass), between the U.S. Business 30 (Lancaster Avenue) interchange and Clover Mill Road. In addition to fixing the sinkholes, nearby drainage basins will be improved to help prevent future issues.

    The work area stretches along U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) from about three-quarters of a mile west of the Clover Mill Road bridge to about a quarter of a mile east of the bridge, in West Whiteland Township.

    The goal of the project is to address sinkhole activity and ensure smooth and safe traffic flow on U.S. 30.

    Traffic will continue to flow with two lanes open at all times during construction. No detours or long-term lane closures are expected.

    The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will begin on Monday, September 29, on the $6.8 million project to provide long-term sinkhole remediation on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) in West Whiteland and East Caln townships, Chester County.

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when approaching the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. The schedule is weather dependent.
