All lanes of Route 202 in King of Prussia reopen after roadway repairsAll lanes of Route 202 reopened Friday morning on a stretch of the roadway in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania that has been plagued with sinkholes.after a "significant depression" was discovered in one of the northbound lanes.
PennDOT said its contractor "excavated the depressed area; removed any soft or saturated soil which can cause sinkholes; backfilled the area to pavement level; installed a subbase and binder; and paved and restriped the highway before safely reopening to traffic." PennDOT adds that a more comprehensive sinkhole remediation project on that part of Route 202, along with Route 29 in East Whiteland Township, Chester County, is scheduled to be advertised for construction this summer.Route 202 has been plagued by sinkholes in the area for the last year.as PennDOT crews were brought in to repair and fill sinkholes in both the north and southbound lanes at Henderson Road.
"It's like limestone, it's the bedrock. Just one of those things that breaks down really easily," PennDOT spokesperson Brad Rudolph said earlier this week. "It causes a lot of cavities in the pavement, and water can infiltrate and it really causes a mess."
