PennDOT to Resurface North Broad Street and 33rd Street in Philadelphia

3/22/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Construction is scheduled to begin Monday, March 28, to repair and
resurface
North Broad Street (Route 611) and 33rd Street in the City of Philadelphia,
the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

PennDOT's contractor will repave North Broad Street (Route 611) between
Spring
Garden Street and John F. Kennedy Boulevard. Crews will also resurface John
F.
Kennedy Boulevard, Penn Square, Juniper Street and 15 Street around
Philadelphia City Hall. Motorists will face nighttime lane closures on
Mondays
through Friday from 7:00 PM to 5:00 the following morning. The $958,376
project
is expected to finish in late May.

Under a separate contract, crews will resurface the deteriorated riding
surface
on 33rd Street between Market Street and 34th Street. The contractor plans
to
mill 33rd Street on Monday, March 28, through Wednesday, March 30, from
7:00 PM
to 5:00 AM, and adjust manholes and drainage inlets on Tuesday, March 29,
through Friday, April 1, from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Crews will then continue
to
work to resurface the street in April. Curb ramp construction is expect to
finish in late June. The improvement of 33rd Street is part of a
$13,432,999
state project to repair and resurface 11 state highways in Philadelphia.

Motorists are advised to use extra care and allow additional time for
travel on
both streets during construction because slowdowns will occur when travel
lanes
are restricted.

the
resurfacing projects, which are financed with 100 percent state funds.
