Route 52 Project

Construction Update

Construction of the new Route 52 north is complete. The road is open to traffic.

Please note that construction continues this spring on Route 1 North and South and drivers should be prepared for changing traffic patterns and paving work throughout the summer.

Getting to Longwood

Guests to Longwood will enter the Gardens via the existing entrances on Route 1 North and South. Guests exiting the Gardens wishing to access Route 1 South will have to do so via Greenwood Lane. Exiting to Route 1 North is unchanged.

For additional details, visit: PennDOT

The relocation of PA Route 52 began in the summer of 2010. Here’s an update on how the PennDOT project is progressing:

  • The project remains on schedule, with completion slated for September 2012.
  • The project has required the removal of trees for the new Route 52. It is important to note, that although it was necessary to remove trees, the project is not only complying with federal/state guidelines for forest remediation, but exceeding those guidelines. To date, Longwood has planted 9,800 trees. When the entire project is complete, Longwood will have planted almost 23 acres of new trees.
  • Work is completed on the intersection of Route 52 and Route 926.
