Naaman’s Creek Road / Rt. 491 - Winter 2011 Update

The scope of road reconstruction work is expanding. Beginning on June 8, the work area will be between Shavertown Road and Pyle Road, with shoulder work and retaining wall construction taking place. The planned construction activities include the retaining wall between Easy Street and Pyle Road, pavement base drain installation between Shavertown Road and Pyle Road, and shoulder widening from Garnett Mine Road to Zebley Road.

Utility Work

 

Chester Water Authority continues to work between Central Avenue and Meetinghouse Road on installation of a new main line, piping to cross streets, grading stabilization, pipe testing, flushing, disinfecting and eventually completing the tie in.

 

This spring, Chester Water Authority will commence the same work between Meetinghouse Road and the Delaware State line.

 

PECO gas line installation will begin after April in various areas between Creek Road and Mill Road, as well as Orchard Road to the Interstate 95 overpass.

 

Verizon line relocation will commence in the spring in areas between Larkin and the Delaware State line.

 

PennDOT Work

 

Installation of storm water inlets along the entire corridor started last fall and is ongoing.

 

Naaman’s Creek Road, from Route 202 east to Foulk Road, will be closed to commuter traffic commencing March 1. The road will be open to local residents, local businesses and their patrons. Residents and businesses will be provided with two auto stickers from PennDOT. Individuals requiring additional stickers can obtain them at their township’s office by providing proof of additional auto registrations in the household or business. Patrons do not need stickers.

 

Commuter traffic will be detoured onto Naaman’s Road in Delaware.

 

The closure is required as the project moves from the utility replacement and upgrade phase to the actual road reconstruction.  PennDOT reconstruction includes the roadway, curbing and completion of the stormwater management.
