The widening and reconstruction of U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) will be completed under four separate construction contracts: Section 101 (Completed December 2020), Section 102, Section 103, and Section CSX. An advanced contract, Section MIT (Completed Fall 2018), developed wetland mitigation sites for the project and prepared a location for future construction of a PennDOT maintenance yard.
Section 101 constructed two eastbound and westbound lanes, separated by a curbed grass median, on U.S. 322 (Conchester Highway) between U.S. 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Clayton Park Drive.
This section also included intersection improvements at:
