283 should drop you off on rt30 in York. From York to Lancaster (Amish Shops Everywhere) it is a small highway. From Lancaster to Coatesville it is backroad which isn't too bad. 30 then splits... local will take you right through coatesville or you can take bypass 30 to rt82 exit. Don't backtrack from 100.
Overall I don't think its much more then an hour from 283 to coatesville.

"Spank you very much"
 Anytime!
Got the construction information for you. I don't know if you'd be able to follow it if I typed it out for you, can I fax or mail it to you? Basically, it brakes down the specific areas where there is construction. Hard to follow if you don't see it in person.
AAA also recommended the route that you have chosen.
Let me know and I will fax or mail it to you today/tomorrow morning.

LUCA Spank you very much  If they say its all good with that route I'm taking then I'll just go with it. I'm going to stop at some truck stops/waysides and I'll grab map just in case. I happy to here some of it is back roads....How are the deer around there? No need to send anything LUCA I'll take your/AAA's word on it  I really do appreciate everyones input to the subject. I still need to find a rental shop that has a car hauler available. I guess this sisn't the best time of year to be renting car haulers  Well Thanks again and a very big Spank you very much to LUCA

No problem, glad to help out. According to the TripTik the construction is sporadic. Construction on I-80 in a few areas while in Michigan, a few areas of I-76 in PA and again on 283 in or around Lancaster, after that it seems to be fine. A car hauler?? You bringing a car or taking one home with you?  From my experience most roads are pretty well posted if there is a deer problem. Lets hope that you don't encounter any! Have a safe trip!

I drive 283 and 30 every day from Harrisburg to 202 ( you won't be going as far as 202). There is some construction on 283 around Elizabethtown but I think it is almost done. At 5:30 am (east bound)and 5:00 pm (west bound) I have only had lanes closed once in four months.
Get off I 76 at Harrisburg EAST exit (not sure of the number)and get on 283. You will get on 30 in Lancaster. 283 ends and blends into 30 so you don't really have to look for 30. It should be about 1 hour and 15 mins from Harrisburg to Coatsville.
Good luck.

Sounds like PennDOT. A good friend of mine, one of his buddy's works for the PA Governor's office and always tells PennDOT stories; paving over deers and other roadkill. Tree stumps don't surprise me at all.

yeah I was amazed by that road. It would be ablast to hammer the tour down but one little mistake and you would be dead. Oh and how many dakmn layers of asphalt do they lay down on the Interstate? When I was stuck crawling Friday morning in traffic i swore I seen about 5-6 layers of asphalt on top of concrete that had been partially ripped up. there were sections that where ripped up down about 2 feet  And that was then finally down to rock/road bed. yeah those roads rank right up there in the bad zone

Sorry you don't like our roads. I guess we are just used to them. When we leave them we think we are in heaven!
Good luck with the Tour.

It was a friggin city people. Thats not backroads I saw the Amish store. I'm thinking to myself hahaha Amish country my nutz then I see the horse drawn buggy tooling down the road 
) I was less then thrilled at that point. But I found the place and drove by it 
Looks like a fun road to crash on in the winter. So after 24++ hours with no sleep and little to eat I left and was back on the road at 10am. I get back onto 283/30 after another wrong turn 
and hit bumper to bumper traffic through town 
I barely napped for 30 mins when I gave up. That was enough though after that I was on a mission to get home. I made it out of PA and through Ohio wher I got raped for $13.70 for the second time and a few $1.50 tolls on top of that
