Right - Approaching the Hwy 547 Junction on eastbound Hwy 101 from Wawa. Since most traffic on southbound Hwy 547 turns right towards Wawa on westbound Hwy 101, a channelized right-turn lane was built at this junction. This section of Hwy 101 was reconstructed in 2006-2007. See an Enlarged Photo Here.
