Month-long project along Route 202 in Chesco begins today
Construction will begin today on a month-long safety project on Route 202 in Chester County.
PennDot said the project, which was announced last week, involves installing cable guide rail to close open medians on the highway between East Whiteland and Tredyffrin Townships.
Guide rails deflect vehicles that have crossed into the median, stopping them from going into lanes going in the opposite direction.
The work will be done on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., with crews beginning at the Route 30 bypass in East Whiteland. From there, they will make their way east toward Route 252 in Tredyffrin. The job is scheduled to be completed by May 9.
