69817 | US 322, Featherbed Lane to Chelsea Parkway (Section 102) (Upper Chichester Township, Bethel Township & Concord Township, Delaware County)

This project section involves the widening and improving of SR 322 to a four-lane typical section with a grass median from east of Mattson Road/Featherbed Lane near Clayton Park and the Concord Township/Bethel Township line through Bethel Township to just east of Chelsea Parkway in Upper Chichester Township.
The following improvements will be implemented:
•The existing two-lane section of SR 322 will be widened to 4 lanes. A fifth center lane will accommodate left turns into and out of adjacent commercial properties.
•Limited widening to the north or about the center will be done at some locations to minimize sound barriers. Retaining walls will also be constructed in this section.
• A new traffic signal will be constructed at the intersection of Garnet Mine Road and the SR 322 eastbound ramps.
•Left turns from and into Colonial Drive will be eliminated.
•The existing traffic signal at the Bethel Road Connector and left turn lanes on SR 322 will be reconstructed.

•The total estimated cost for this project section is $184,752,570.
•The anticipated let date is August 21, 2025.
•The anticipated completion date is September 21, 2029.
