04/26/2024

​King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that Aqua Pennsylvania will be performing water main construction on Swedesford Road in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, beginning Monday, May 6. 

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
  • Monday, May 6, through Friday, May 24, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Swedesford Road will be closed and detoured weekdays between Phoenixville Pike and Church Road. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use Planebrook Road, U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue), and Church Road.  
Local access will be maintained up to the work zone. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Aqua Pennsylvania will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
