It sounds like there will be fewer tractor-trailers in Kennett Square but more in Avondale.
When the State Street bridge in Kennett Square closes for repair in June, tractor-trailers on their way to the cold-storage facilities in Toughkenamon, instead of going straight through downtown Kennett, will have to take the Route 1 bypass all the way to the Route 41 exit, will then go through Avondale on Route 41, and will take Baltimore Pike east to Toughkenamon. Kennett Township manager Eden Ratcliff spoke briefly about the closure at the township meeting on May 20. (The bridge, built in 1929, is actually in Kennett Township.)
"For the average car, that's not going to be a huge deal, but for the average tractor-trailer there will be a re-routing process," he said, showing a map outlining the truck detour.
That stretch of Route 41 through Avondale already backs up in the summer with motorists heading to the shore; Friday afternoons will be interesting in Avondale, to say the least.
