    District 6 Projects - Chester County

    U.S. 1 Widening Project

    Project Overview

    County: Chester
    Municipalities: East Marlborough and Kennett Townships
    State Route: U.S. 1 
    Local Name: Baltimore Pike
    Project Type: Road Widening
    Last Updated: August 2025

    This project is located in East Marlborough and Kennett Townships, Chester County. U.S. 1 in southeastern Pennsylvania is one of the principal arteries that carries significant traffic throughout the greater Philadelphia area. 

    U.S. 1 Section H02 widens U.S.  1 from four lanes to six lanes from the Kennett/Oxford Bypass to the intersection of U.S. 1 & Greenwood Road. The scope of this project is to provide three thru lanes in each direction.  

    The project will modify existing shoulders and right turn lanes where needed to accommodate the third thru lane in each direction through the corridor. The project will also add a sidewalk along the north side of U.S. 1 from Schoolhouse Lane to Shopping Center Signal, and widen the southwest corner of Bayard Road and U.S. 1 to allow for truck turns and signal modifications within the corridor.  A DMS sign will be added along the U.S. 1 Bypass south of the Route 82 interchange.
