Lane Restrictions Scheduled on Kelly Drive in Philadelphia for Resurfacing

5/27/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced
that
lane restrictions are scheduled on Kelly Drive between 25th Street and
Hunting
Park Avenue in Philadelphia on Tuesday, May 31, through Friday, June 3,
from
9:30 AM to 3:30 PM and from 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM, for paving and curb ramp
installation.

The work is part of a $1.8 million project to repair and resurface 3.5
miles of
Kelly Drive between 25th Street and Hunting Park Avenue and the Kelly Drive

ramp to Ridge Avenue. The resurfacing project is expected to finish in late

June.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is repairing the road base, milling
off
the existing riding surface, and paving Kelly Drive with an ultra-thin
friction
course pavement. The fiction course is designed to improve traction and
help
channel storm water off the roadway. Crews are also improving 22 curb
ramps.
Construction began on Monday, April 4.

Tony DePaul and Son, of Blue Bell, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the $1,843,749 contract, which is financed with 100 percent federal
funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by
visiting
www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides
traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and
access
to more than 770 traffic cameras.

511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and
Android

accessible
