102708 | PA 41 at PA 841 Improvements (London Grove Township, Chester County)

Construction of a roundabout is anticipated at this location. The project will provide a safe and efficient means of accommodating the regional movement of people, goods and services and to provide for local access connections to support the existing community and businesses in the village of Chatham. Currently, the intersection of PA 41 & PA 841 has a confusing layout, traffic is forecasted to operate in LOS E on the PA 841 approaches to the intersection in the design year (2035), and there are limited pedestrian accommodations.
Pursuant to the completion of a needs assessment in 2014, an alternatives analysis, identified ten alternative concepts. Five of these alternatives were selected for additional evaluation. A preferred alternative for this intersection will be determined, which may take several years due to the complexity of the engineering solutions and environmental features and impacts. An improvement study of Chatham village recommended a gateway treatment on PA 41 that would support many of the short-listed alternatives. This gateway project is a companion project, MPMS #105755.
