Intermittent Double Lane Closures Scheduled on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard)
Outer Lanes at Five Intersections in Philadelphia

9/21/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Motorists traveling on the outer lanes of northbound and southbound U.S. 1
(Roosevelt Boulevard) will encounter intermittent double-lane closures at
the
intersections of Cottman Avenue (Route 73), Rhawn Street, Welsh Road, Grant

Avenue and Red Lion Road in Philadelphia on Friday, September 22, and
Saturday,
September 23, from 8:00 PM to 4:00 AM, for concrete barrier removal as part
of
a city project to construct new bus shelters, plazas and sidewalks along
the
U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) corridor.

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
this
operation.

A.P. Construction, Inc., of Blackwood, NJ, is the general contractor on the

$2.5 million project which is financed with federal and local funds.
Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2018.

The city's project coincides with PennDOT's 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. Under this improvement project,
PennDOT
is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving 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.
