Description

WEST CHESTER, PA – Gay Street will be shut down between Walnut and Church streets on weekdays for four months for PECO utility work and traffic will be detoured. PECO Energy is planning to close Gay Street — State Route 3 — between Walnut Street and Church streets in West Chester Borough beginning March 1. The road will be closed for utility construction weekdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). The weekday closures will continue through Thursday, July 1, PennDOT said. During the closure, drivers will be directed to use Matlack Street, Chestnut Street, and New Street. Local access will be maintained up to the work zone. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather-dependent. PECO Energy will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
