Route 491 Will Be Restricted Between Route 202 and Shavertown Road for Utility Relocation
King of Prussia – PECO Energy will restrict Route 491 (Naamans Creek Road) between Route 202 and Shavertown Road in Concord and Bethel townships, Delaware County, beginning Monday (March 8) for utility relocation, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today. Route 491 will be restricted weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through March 26.
The utility work is being done in advance of PennDOT’s $9.8 million project to reconstruct, mill and pave Route 491 between the Delaware state line and Route 202, a distance of 5.5 miles. The project also calls for drainage, signing, pavement marking, driveway, sight distance, and turn radius improvements. Roadway shoulders will also be stabilized.
PennDOT’s improvement project will be completed in two phases with separate detours. Under phase one, Route 491 through traffic will be detoured over Route 261, Delaware Route 92 (Naamans Road), and Route 202. During phase two, traffic will be detoured over Route 261 and Delaware Route 92 (Naamans Road). The phase one and phase two detours are expected to take effect in spring 2011 and spring 2012 respectively.
Road-Con, Inc., of West Chester, Pa., is the general contractor on the $9,865,998 project that is expected to begin this spring and finish in August 2012.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on major highways before heading out.
