U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) Restrictions Next Week in Philadelphia for
Overhead Bridge Construction

6/3/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane restrictions are scheduled next week on northbound and southbound U.S.
1
(Roosevelt Boulevard), Holme Avenue, and Solly Avenue in Philadelphia, for
paving operations related to the construction to replace the Holme Avenue
bridges over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard), the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, June 6, through Friday, June 10, 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 Strahle Street;

• Wednesday, June 8, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, the local lanes on U.S. 1
(Roosevelt Boulevard) will close between Rhawn Street and Strahle Street.
Traffic will be detoured onto the express lanes on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt
Boulevard);

• Thursday, June 9, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, lane restrictions are
scheduled on
westbound Holme Avenue between Fairfield Street and Bradford Street; and

• Friday, June 10, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled
on
eastbound Solly Avenue between Bradford Street and Fairfield Street.

PennDOT advises drivers to allow additional time for travel 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.

Buckley & Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
$15,469,086 project.
