From Sunday, March 13 to Thursday, March 17, southbound Route 202 will be reduced from two lanes to one, each night from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.

During the week of March 20 to March 24, work will start on Route 202’s northbound

Update on Brinton Lake Bridge Closure and Detour

Brinton Lake Bridge Closure Moved Back until Spring

It was announced that the closure and detour of Brinton Lake Road has been postponed until May.

The road was originally slated to be closed and detoured starting Feb. 3 between Route 1 (Baltimore Pike) and Dilworthtown Road for the rehabilitation of the bridge over Chester Creek.

The rescheduling was requested by township officials in order to keep local snow emergency routes open to traffic throughout the winter.

When construction starts in May to rehabilitate the structurally deficient bridge, Brinton Lake Road through traffic will be detoured over Route 1, Route 202 and Dilworthtown Road. Local access will be maintained on Brinton Lake Road up to the construction area.
