The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that construction will begin on Monday, September 29, on a project to provide long-term sinkhole remediation on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) in West Whiteland and East Caln townships, Chester County. Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Monday, September 29, through Friday, October 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, alternating lane closures will be in place on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) between Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) and Business U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) for survey operations.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when approaching the work area there will be significant backups and delays. The schedule is weather dependent.

The project will involve permanent repairs to sinkholes at two locations on U.S. 30 (Exton Bypass) between Business U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) and Clover Mill Road. Crews will use a limited mobility grouting program to fill subsurface voids beneath the roadway, stabilizing the ground and reducing the risk of future sinkholes. Additional work under this project includes pavement reconstruction, drainage pipe replacement, and stabilization of roadside swales.
