U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) Outer Lane Closures Next Week for Repair and
Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia

8/3/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime and nighttime lane closures are scheduled in both directions on the

outer lanes of U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) from the Bucks County line to
Red
Lion Road, and from Cottman Avenue (Route 73) to 9th Street in
Philadelphia, on
Monday, August 7, through Thursday, August 10, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and
7:00
PM to 5:00 AM, and Friday, August 11, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM
to
8:00 AM, for milling and paving operations, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work is part of a major improvement project to repair and resurface 12
miles of the outer lanes on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between 9th Street
and
the Bucks County line in the City of Philadelphia.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent. Motorists are advised to
allow
extra time when traveling on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) in the work areas

because backups and delays will occur during construction.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway
surface
and repave the outside, local lanes with new asphalt. The project also
includes
resurfacing crossover lanes. 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 mid-November.

H&K Group, Inc. of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor
on
the $7,645,967 project which is financed with 100 percent state funds from
Act
89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.

The inner lanes of U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) were resurfaced in 2014,
also
with funds from Act 89.
