over
U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation

(PennDOT) said today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, May 23, through Thursday, May 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane
restrictions are scheduled on the local lanes on northbound and southbound
U.S.
1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Rhawn Street and Hoffnagle Street;

and Fairfield Street; and

• Tuesday, May 24, through Thursday, May 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane
restrictions are scheduled on the express lanes on northbound and
southbound
U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Rhawn Street and Strahle Street.

PennDOT advises drivers to allow additional time for travel on U.S. 1
(Roosevelt Boulevard) near the construction areas because backups will
occur.
The operation is dependent on the weather.

This work is part of a $15.5 million project to replace the two
structurally
deficient bridges carrying Holme Avenue over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard),
with
a single structure. PennDOT's contractor will also reconstruct the
approaches
to tie into the new bridge and install a new traffic signal at the
intersection
of Holme Avenue and Fairfield Street. The project is scheduled to finish in

August 2016.

This bridge improvement project is financed with state funds from
Pennsylvania's transportation plan, Act 89.

$15,469,086 project.
