Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia

6/27/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime and nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled next week on several
state highways in Philadelphia for resurfacing operations, as part of an
$8.8
million project to repair and resurface 26 miles of state highway in the
city,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and
7:00
PM to 6:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Willits Road between
Academy
Road and Ashton Road;
• Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and
7:00
PM to 6:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Cheltenham Avenue between

Route 611 (Old York Road) and Tookany Creek Parkway/Crescentville Road; and

• Thursday, July 6, and Friday, July 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM
to
6:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Girard Avenue between Lancaster

Avenue and 34th Street.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through these work

zones because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's
schedule is dependent on the weather.

The additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract

include:

• Clarissa Street/Wayne Avenue between U.S. 13 (Hunting Park Avenue) and
Washington Lane;
• Princeton Avenue between U.S. 13 (Frankford Avenue) and I-95 Service
Road;
• Bethlehem Pike between Germantown Avenue and Stenton Avenue; and
• Parkside Avenue between North 52nd Street and U.S. 30 (West Girard
Avenue).

State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:

• Mt. Airy Avenue/Easton Road/Wadsworth Avenue between Germantown Avenue
and
Cheltenham Avenue;
• Stenton Avenue between Ivy Hill Road and Phil Ellena Street;
• Henry Avenue between U.S. 13 (Hunting Park Avenue) and Walnut Lane;
• Spring Garden Street between 39th Street/Lancaster Avenue and the
Benjamin
Franklin Parkway;
• Chester Avenue between U.S. 13 (Baltimore Avenue) and 52nd Street;
• Kingsessing Avenue between 52nd Street and 65th Street;
• 65th Street between Kingsessing Avenue and Cobbs Creek Parkway; and
• Whitby Avenue between South 52nd Street and Cobbs Creek Parkway.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill the existing roadway
surface
and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal
the
roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in late October.

$8,889,694 project which is financed with 100 percent state funds from Act
