The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has announced that construction will continue next week on the Business U.S. 322 (High Street) safety improvement project in West Chester and West Goshen Township. Drivers can expect delays due to lane closures along this busy stretch, particularly between 9 AM and 3 PM from Monday next week through Friday. Traffic will likely be slow-moving from Miner Street to Rosedale Avenue; motorists were advised to plan for extra travel time, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announcement.

Marino Corporation from Skippack, Pennsylvania, is leading the $2.6 million federally-funded upgrade. The plan includes retroreflective backplates for signals, new pedestrian countdown timers, LED lights, and full-depth pavement restorations. These updates will contribute to a safer and smoother drive, with completion expected by winter 2026.

Pedestrians will benefit from upgraded high-visibility crosswalks, while everyone will see improvements in drainage systems. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation also plans curb extensions and other enhancements to improve safety and functionality along this busy corridor. These upgrades aim to make daily commutes not only smoother but safer for all.

Planning your daily drive is easier with the 511PA service. Motorists can access real-time road conditions, including winter advisories, through the website, app, or phone. It provides traffic delay warnings, weather updates, and access to over a thousand traffic cameras.
