The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation has awarded Urban a contract for construction inspection and documentation of SR 202, Section 320, in East Whiteland and Tredyffrin Townships, Chester County.

The project includes the following major components:

• Reconstruct and widen Route 202 to three lanes each direction for 4.2 miles between the Valley Creek Bridge (between Route 29 and Route 401 interchanges) and North Valley Road

• Construct a two-mile long, barrier-separated, collector-distributor lane northbound beginning at Valley Creek Bridge through the Route 29 Interchange

• Modify/widen Route 202 bridges over Valley Creek and North Valley Road

• Modify on and off ramps at the Route 29 Interchange

• Install concrete median barrier glare screen

• Construct noise walls at eligible locations

• Improve stormwater management system

The $105 million project is scheduled for completion in 2014.

According to PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch, PE, the project will “transform an aging and worn stretch of Route 202 into a modern six-lane highway….The importance of Route 202 from a transportation and economic perspective cannot be overstated. Adding a third lane in each direction will dramatically improve rush-hour travel."
