PennDOT to Work Overnight into Friday to Remove I-95 Commercial Truck Ban and Reopen Exit Ramps at I-95/Broad Street Interchange

PennDOT to Work Overnight into Friday to Remove I-95 Commercial Truck Ban
and Reopen Exit Ramps at I-95/Broad Street Interchange

7/28/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Working in coordination with law enforcement agencies following the
conclusion
of the Democratic National Convention, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) will work overnight to remove traffic control
devices
from Interstate 95 in Philadelphia in order to remove the five-ton
commercial
truck restriction and reopen exit ramps at the Broad Street Interchange
(Exit
17) by midday Friday, July 29.

PennDOT crews are prepared to begin removing over 200 traffic control
signs,
portable arrow boards and message boards, and dozens of traffic
channelization
cones from I-95 and nearby regional highways upon receiving notification
from
law enforcement to reopen I-95 to commercial trucks and vehicles over five
tons, to restore the Interstate 676 east ramp to I-95 south to two lanes,
and
to reopen I-95 exit ramps at Broad Street (Exit 17).

The operation to remove all travel restriction from I-95 is expected to
take
several hours to complete, weather permitting. The forecast of rain,
thunderstorms and lightning may affect the length of time it takes to
complete
the full reopening as the safety of PennDOT crews and law enforcement
personnel
is paramount.

I-95 travel restrictions, plus a lane closure on the I-676 east ramp to
I-95
south, have been in place since Saturday, July 23, to support the
Pennsylvania
State Police in its enforcement of the five-ton commercial truck ban, which
is
part of the security plan for the Democratic National Convention at the
Wells
Fargo Center in South Philadelphia.

I-95 north is reduced from three lanes to two at Exit 13 (I-76 West/Route
291/Valley Forge) near the Philadelphia International Airport, and the
adjacent
collector/distributor roadway alongside I-95 north also is restricted to
two
lanes in this area.

On I-95 south, traffic is reduced from 4 lanes to 3 lanes moving through
the
Girard Avenue Interchange toward the I-676 Interchange at Exit 22 (I-676).

The I-676 east exit ramp to I-95 south is reduced from two lanes to one.

PennDOT and its regional transportation partners are using more than 100
permanent and portable electronic message signs to complement more than 200

stationary signs to inform commercial drivers and travelers of I-95
restrictions in Philadelphia during this special event.

To assist residents and visitors before and during the convention, PennDOT
launched www.511PA.com/DNC – a detailed travelers' website. The site's home

page offers options to see information about real-time traffic conditions
on
highways in the Philadelphia region and lists street closures around the
convention venue. This site is accessible from both desktop and mobile
interfaces.

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

PennDOT Plans to Open U.S. 202 to 6 Lanes Next Week between Route 401 and U.S. 30 in Chester County

PennDOT Plans to Open U.S. 202 to 6 Lanes Next Week between Route 401 and
U.S. 30 in Chester County

7/28/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) plans to open 2.5
miles
of U.S. 202 to six lanes between the Route 401 and U.S. 30 interchanges in
East
Whiteland Township, Chester County, by mid-to-late next week, substantially

completing construction on a $63.3 million improvement project that began
in
April 2013.

This is the second of PennDOT's two mainline construction contracts for the

expansion of 6.5 miles of U.S. 202 to six lanes in East Whiteland and
Tredyffrin Townships. PennDOT opened four miles of U.S. 202 to six lanes
from
just south of the Route 252 Interchange to just north of the Route 401
Interchange in September 2014. Construction on the first mainline contact,
worth $105.4 million, began in April 2011.

Crews will work Sunday, July 31, through Thursday, August 4, from 8:00 PM
to
5:00 AM to complete line striping and other preparations for opening the
rebuilt and widened expressway to six lanes. The opening caps several weeks
of
nighttime construction by the contractor to complete final operations,
including installation of concrete median barriers, removal of construction

barriers, and repainting traffic lines in the work zone.

Following the opening of U.S. 202 to six lanes, crews will close one lane
in
both directions on U.S. 202 between the Route 29 and U.S. 30 interchanges
from
8:00 PM Friday, August 5, to 10:00 AM Saturday, August 6. The lane closures

will allow the contractor to complete miscellaneous construction items in
the
work area. Crews will continue to work and close lanes on U.S. 202 at night

periodically for the next several weeks to complete miscellaneous
construction
activities in the work zone.

All planned activities are weather permitting.

Allan A. Myers, LP of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the $63,381,084 project.

Under this project, PennDOT rebuilt and widened northbound and southbound
U.S.
202 to three lanes in each direction from just north of the Route 401
Interchange to approaching the U.S. 30 Interchange; reconstructed the Route
401
(Conestoga Road) Interchange; rebuilt U.S. 202 bridges over Route 401 and
Planebrook Road; installed a culvert to carry the Chester Valley Trail
under
U.S. 202; upgraded the highway drainage system; and installed sound walls,
Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) components, and new highway signs.

Prior to starting construction to widen this section of Route 202 in 2011,
PennDOT replaced six overhead bridges under two contracts worth $45 million
to
create space needed to expand the expressway. PennDOT also installed
Intelligent Transportation System equipment along the corridor under a
$14.7
million project.

I-676 Overnight Closures Next Week in Philadelphia for Bridge Construction

7/27/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

Interstate 676 will be closed and detoured in both directions between the
Interstate 76 and Broad Street (Route 611) interchanges in Philadelphia on
Monday, August 1, to Thursday, August 4 from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following
morning for overhead bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

The overnight operation is associated with the four-year, $64.8 million
project
to replace seven structurally deficient bridges over I-676 between 22nd
Street
and 18th Street, and to make landscaping and streetscape improvements above
the
expressway. Construction began in April 2015 and will finish in fall 2019.

Crews will work overnight on the 19th Street and 20th Street bridges over
I-676. The contractor's work schedule is weather dependent.

When I-676 east is closed, the following detours will be in place:

PennDOT to Improve Travel and Safety on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in
Philadelphia and Montgomery County

7/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) will start
construction
Tuesday, August 2, on a $2.9 million project to improve travel and safety
on a
three mile section of U.S. 1 (City Avenue) between Interstate 76 and U.S.
30
(Lancaster Avenue) in Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township, Montgomery
County, by installing adaptive traffic signals to improve traffic flow and
pedestrian safety along the corridor. The project is scheduled to finish in

November 2017.

Crews will work the next 16 months to upgrade and fully modernize 17
signalized
intersections along U.S. 1 (City Avenue) with a new wireless communication
system to better accommodate traffic flow. The improvements also include
the
installation of new pedestrian push buttons, traffic signal heads, pavement

markings, overhead street signs, and 74 new ADA curb ramps.

In addition to installing adaptive traffic signals, PennDOT's contractor
will
perform various other roadway improvements on U.S. 1 (City Avenue),
including a
new left turn and lane configurations at Cardinal Avenue to improve traffic
and
safety at that intersection.

During construction, U.S. 1 (City Avenue) motorists can expect to face lane

restrictions and possible slowdowns Mondays through Saturdays from 9:00 AM
to
3:00 PM while upgrades are performed at each intersection.

The work schedule for next week, weather permitting, is:

• On Tuesday, August 2, through Saturday, August 20, from 9:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
lane restrictions are scheduled on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) at Lapsley Lane;

• On Thursday, August 4, through Saturday, August 20, from 9:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
lane restrictions are scheduled on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) at 59th
Street/Raynham
Road; and

• On Monday, August 8, through Saturday, August 20, from 9:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
lane restrictions are scheduled on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) at Drexel
Road/Merion
Road.

Armor & Sons Electric Inc., of Langhorne, Bucks County, is the general
contractor on the $2,895,674 project, which is financed with 100 percent
federal funds.

The City Avenue Special Services District was responsible for initiating
this
transportation improvement project and advancing it by obtaining a
Congestion
Mitigation and Air Quality grant for the acquisition and installation of
new
traffic-adaptive signal equipment, and financing the engineering design of
the
new signal system.

PennDOT to Rehabilitate Route 23 Bridge over French Creek in Chester County

PennDOT to Rehabilitate Route 23 Bridge over French Creek in Chester County

7/26/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will start construction
Friday,
August 5, on a $450,000 project to rehabilitate the structurally deficient
bridge carrying Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) over French Creek in
Phoenixville
Borough and East Pikeland and Skippack townships, Chester County. The
project
is scheduled to finish Sunday, August 14.

Crews will work to rehabilitate the Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) bridge by
replacing a portion of the bridge deck and deteriorated beams.

During construction, Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) will be closed and detoured

between Valley Forge Road and Township Line Road. The posted detour will
use
Township Line Road and Valley Forge Road. Southbound Township Line
motorists
wanting to access eastbound Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) will be detoured
over
Mowere Road. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone.

The Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) bridge was built in 1940. The two-span steel

I-beam bridge is 125 feet long, 40 feet wide and carries an average of
15,450
vehicles a day. The bridge is posted with a 22-ton weight limit. When
construction is completed the bridge will no longer be classified as
structurally deficient.

The Route 23 (Schuylkill Road) bridge is one of nine bridges in Bucks,
Chester,
Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties that PennDOT is repairing
under
a $7,555,555 project financed by Pennsylvania's transportation funding
plan,
Act 89.

PennDOT has completed the rehabilitations of the U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike)
bridge
over Martins Creek in Falls Township, Bucks County; Chinquapin Road bridge
over
Iron Works Creek in Northampton Township, Bucks County; and Dark Hollow
Road
bridge over Tohickon Creek in Tinicum Township, Bucks County.

The Route 32 (South Main Street) bridge over Aquetong Creek in New Hope
Borough, Bucks County, and the Route 73 (Skippack Pike) bridge over
Perkiomen
Creek in Perkiomen and Skippack townships, and Schwenksville Borough,
Montgomery County, are currently under construction and scheduled to be
completed by the end of 2016.

The three remaining bridges that will be repaired under this contract are:

• Bryn Mawr Avenue bridge over Ithan Creek in Radnor Township, Delaware
County;
• New Second Street bridge over Tacony Creek in Cheltenham Township,
Montgomery
County; and
• Route 611 (Broad Street) bridge over U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Extension) in
Philadelphia.

The entire project is expected to be completed by fall 2017.

Loftus Construction, Inc. of Cinnaminson, N.J., is the general contractor
on
the project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by
