70245 | Chester City Access Improvements II (Chester City, Delaware County)

This project entails the improvement of the Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue corridor which provides mobility between I-95 and PA 291 in the City of Chester. Specifically, work includes the widening of Chestnut Street from I-95 to 10th Street without adding additional travel lanes, and the reconfiguration of the intersections at 12th /Chestnut St., Chestnut St./10th St./ Morton Ave. (SR 0013), and Morton/Potter/5th/6th. Also includes drainage improvements, signalization and signing improvements along the corridor; vertical clearance improvements at the Amtrak overpass; and minor rehabilitation and painting of the I-95 overpass and maintenance of traffic during construction. This project was broken out from MPMS # 57780/TIP #7915.
This road segment is included in the Delaware County Bicycle Plan. SEPTA's Route 113 bus uses Morton Avenue.
A final alternative for bridge rehabilitation or replacement is determined upon National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) clearance.

Limits: Chestnut Street/Morton Avenue, 10th Street to 12th
