Route 491 restrictions

Daytime lane restrictions are scheduled on Naamans Creek Road (Route 491) between U.S. Route 202 and the Delaware state line in Concord, Bethel, Upper Chichester and Lower Chichester Tuesday-Friday, 7 a.m.-3 p.m. for tree clearing and utility relocation.
PECO Energy will also restrict traffic on Naamans Creek Road between Pyle Road and Shavertown Road in Concord from June 1 to 9, 9 a.m.-3 p.m., for gas main relocation.
The 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.
The project will be completed in two phases with separate detours.
The detours are expected to take effect in spring 2011 and spring 2012, respectively.
Haverford/Upper Darby Signals
Daytime lane closures have begun on Township Line Road (Route 1) in Haverford and Upper Darby for traffic signal upgrades.
The work is part of $1.07 million project for traffic signal improvements at six intersections along Route 1 between Dermond Road and Harding Drive.
Construction is expected to finish in September 2011.
The project will improve traffic flow and enhance pedestrian safety, PennDOT said.
The work includes new poles, mast arms and signal heads, new ADA-compliant ramps and pedestrian countdown timers.
The signals will be interconnected with a fiber optic closed-loop system to provide better timing and minimize traffic congestion.
