    Utility Construction Continues on Bethel Road Roundabout Project in Upper Chichester Township

    June 21, 2023
    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that utility construction will continue under a project to improve safety by constructing a roundabout at the Bethel Road and Mill Road intersection in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:  
    • Wednesday, July 5, through Monday, October 23, the Bethel Road and Mill Road intersection will be closed and detoured. During the closure, motorists will be directed to Mill Road, Naamans Creek Road, Larkin Road, and Chichester Avenue. 
    Local access will be maintained up to the work zone. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent. 

    Under this project, PennDOT’s contractor will construct a single-lane roundabout to enhance traffic flow through the Bethel Road and Mill Road intersection. The project will also include relocating utilities; installing new drainage facilities, ADA-compliant sidewalks, crosswalks, and bicycle ramps; and performing a full-depth reconstruction of the existing intersection. 

    Richard E. Pierson Company, Inc. of Pilesgrove, NJ, is the general contractor on the $2.6 million project, which is financed with 100% federal funds. 

    Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
