Broad Street (Route 611) for resurfacing operations;

lane

lane

lane

and
Robbins Street for crack sealing.

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.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Ridge Avenue between U.S. 13 (33rd Street) and Spring Garden Street;
• Chestnut Street between 22nd Street and 21st Street;
• Vine Street between the Benjamin Franklin Parkway and 7th Street; and
• Walnut Street between Broad Street (Route 611) and Front Street.

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

Work on the project is expected to be completed in mid-November.

James J. Anderson Construction Co., Inc., of Philadelphia is the general
contractor on the $7,136,316 project which is financed with 100 percent
state
funds.
