79329 | Bridgewater Road Extension (Upper Chichester Township, Aston Township & Chester Township, Delaware County)

This project would provide a more direct truck route between two industrial parks (Bridgewater Business Park and I-95 Industrial Park), I-95, and US 322. Currently, truck drivers must navigate a circuitous route (Concord and Bethel Roads) with difficult turns and drive through a low-income residential neighborhood and by a school. The residential community along Bethel Road in Chester City and Chester Township is subject to a heavy volume of truck traffic, which should be directed onto another route. The other potential truck route goes well to the north and involves an intersection which is physically constrained and difficult/impossible for truck turns. This project complements and was a breakout project of MPMS 15477 (I-95/US 322/Highland Avenue interchange).
