Woodhaven Road (Route 63) and Interstate 95 motorists will encounter

for
high friction resurfacing operations, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Sunday, June 4, through Thursday, June 8, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM, the
ramps
from eastbound Woodhaven Road (Route 63) to northbound and southbound I-95
will

• Monday, June 12, and Tuesday, June 13, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM, the ramps

from eastbound Woodhaven Road (Route 63) to northbound and southbound I-95
are
scheduled to close to traffic. During this operation, eastbound Woodhaven
(Route 63) motorists wanting access to northbound I-95 will be directed to
travel north on U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike) to Route 132 (Street Road) to reach
the
ramp to northbound I-95. Eastbound Woodhaven (Route 63) motorists wanting
access to southbound I-95 will be detoured over southbound U.S. 13 (Bristol

Pike/Frankford Avenue) to Academy Road to reach the ramp to southbound

The work is part of a $4.8 million resurfacing project to improve travel
and
safety on 25 state highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and
Philadelphia counties, by installing a high-friction surface treatment to
provide increased friction and grip on pavements in wet and dry conditions.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.
