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

6/9/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Travel restrictions are scheduled next week on northbound and southbound
U.S. 1
(Roosevelt Boulevard) in Philadelphia, for line striping and traffic signal

work 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 13, through Friday, June 17, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane
restrictions are scheduled on the local and express lanes on northbound and

southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Rhawn Street and Strahle
Street; and

•Thursday, June 16, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, the local lanes will be closed
on
northbound and southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Rhawn Street
and
Strahle Street. During this operation, all express lanes on U.S. 1
(Roosevelt
Boulevard) will remain open to traffic, and local lane traffic will be
diverted
onto the express lanes in the construction area.

PennDOT advises drivers to use an alternate route or allow additional time
for
travel on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) near the construction area 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.
