Project Overview
County: Chester County
Municipality: Warwick Township
State Route: Route 4041
Local Name: St. Peters Road
Project Type: Slope Failure Stabilization
Last Updated: May 2025
A retain wall installation project is planned along St. Peters Road within St. Peters Village in Warwick Township, Chester County.
Erosion of the steep slope between St. Peters Road and French Creek has created unstable conditions in the roadway embankment.
In June of 2022, a concrete barrier was placed to protect the motoring public from the deteriorating conditions. The remaining one lane of roadway was open to traffic with stop sign-controlled approaches. Recent inspections have shown additional slope deterioration, and as a result, an additional 432’ of concrete barrier needs to be placed along with a long-term detour of the southbound traffic from the village.
In April of 2025, an emergency proclamation was obtained to allow for the placement of the additional barrier and detour. In addition to the interim protections, the emergency proclamation has allowed PennDOT to pursue a design-build approach to constructing the permanent solution using existing construction contracts.
A contractor, Loftus Construction, Inc. of King of Prussia, Pa., has been authorized to start the design process. Once a design concept is generated, we will conduct the necessary historic/cultural resource coordination and finalize the design.
It is currently anticipated that construction under a full road closure could begin this fall and finish in spring 2026. PennDOT has been communicating the latest updates with various stakeholders, including emergency services.
TRAFFIC IMPACTS
Beginning Thursday, May 22, through spring 2026, southbound St. Peters Road will be closed and detoured to through traffic between School Road and Rock Run Road.
During the closure, passenger vehicles will be directed to turn left onto School Road, turn right onto Harmonyville Road, turn right onto Chestnut Hill Road, left onto Old Ridge Road, turn right onto Coventryville Road, and turn right onto Route 23 (Ridge Road) to access St. Peters Road.
Truck traffic will be directed to turn left onto School Road, turn right onto Harmonyville Road, turn left onto Laurelwood Road, turn right onto Cedarville Road, turn right onto southbound Route 100 (Pottstown Pike), and turn right onto Route 23 (Ridge Road) to access St. Peters Road.
Local access will be maintained at all times for St. Peters Road residences and businesses.
