U.S. 422 East Ramp to Route 23 to Close for Several Months for Interchange Improvement in Valley Forge Area

U.S. 422 East Ramp to Route 23 to Close for Several Months for Interchange
Improvement in Valley Forge Area

1/31/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The ramp from eastbound U.S. 422 to Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) is
scheduled
to close in Upper Merion Township, Montgomery County, beginning Monday,
February 12, for the start of construction on a new fly-over ramp at that
interchange, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced
today. The ramp closure will be in place through late summer.

During construction, motorists will be directed to continue eastbound on
U.S.
422, exit at First Avenue and make a left on Gulph Road to reach Route 23
(Valley Forge Road). Drivers should allow additional time for travel near
the
construction zone because backups and delays will occur.

The improvements at this interchange are part of a major project to build
new,
wider bridges to carry U.S. 422 motorists over the Schuylkill River,
Norfolk
Southern Railroad, South Trooper Road and Schuylkill River Trail in West
Norriton, Upper Merion and Lower Providence townships.

The scope of work on this project includes improving U.S. 422 between the
Route
23 (Valley Forge Road) and Route 363 (Trooper Road) interchanges; upgrading

Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) at its interchange with U.S. 422; and
improving
ramps at the Route 363 (Trooper Road), Route 23 (Valley Forge Road) and
First
Avenue interchanges.

Construction on this improvement project began in February 2016 and is
scheduled to finish in May 2020.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$97.4 million project that is financed with 80 percent federal and 20
percent
state funds.

PennDOT Teams Up with Police, Uber to Encourage Safe Driving Ahead of Super Bowl Sunday

PennDOT Teams Up with Police, Uber to Encourage Safe Driving Ahead of Super
Bowl Sunday

1/31/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), Philadelphia
Police
Department, Uber and AAA Mid-Atlantic held an event today at Chickie's &
Pete's
in South Philadelphia to highlight impaired driving prevention and to
encourage
safe driving on Super Bowl Sunday.

As part of the event, police discussed increased use of roving patrols on
Super
Bowl Sunday to target impaired drivers under the influence of alcohol or
drugs.
Participants also provided Super Bowl party-hosting tips and non-alcoholic
drink options to prevent party-goers from drinking and driving.

According to preliminary PennDOT data, there were 181 crashes in
Pennsylvania
during last year's Super Bowl. Of those crashes, 17 were alcohol-related.

PennDOT reminds Eagles fans that if attending a Super Bowl celebration
involving alcohol it is imperative to designate a sober driver or arrange
for
alternate transportation before kickoff.

"This weekend, we're encouraging all fans in Philadelphia to be a
Designated
Rider: someone who takes responsibility for finding a safe way to get home
after the Big Game," said Craig Ewer, spokesperson for Uber Philadelphia.
"Whether you take a train, a bus, or an Uber, there's never an excuse for
driving under the influence of alcohol."

The Department also encourages football fans to remember the following
safety
tips:

• If hosting a party, offer plenty of non-alcoholic drinks and snacks;
• Stop serving alcohol at the end of the third quarter, and switch to
coffee
and dessert;
• Take the keys from someone who has had too much to drink and help them
find a
safe ride home;
• For those without a sober designated driver, call for a cab, community
sober
ride program, ridesharing service or stay put;
• Download the Safer Ride App for Android and Apple phones beforehand and
use
if it needed. It can help a user find a taxi or ridesharing service, call a

friend or family member for assistance, and view of map of their current
location;
• If you are the designated driver, be sure to avoid distractions, always
wear
your seatbelt, and require passengers to do the same; and
• Report impaired drivers you see on the roadways to law enforcement.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including

color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting 511PA.com. 511PA,

which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay
warnings,

Holme Avenue Lane Closure for Bridge Rehabilitation in Pennypack Park Philadelphia

Holme Avenue Lane Closure for Bridge Rehabilitation in Pennypack Park
Philadelphia

1/31/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Westbound Holme Avenue will be narrowed to a single lane between Longford
Street and Arthur Street beginning Monday, February 12, for construction on
the
bridge carrying Holme Avenue over Wooden Bridge Run in Pennypack Park in
Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced
today. The westbound right lane closure will be in place until the bridge
is
completed in June.

PennDOT is rehabilitating the bridge by repairing cracks in the concrete
arch
structure and the headwall beneath the drainage pipe; cleaning debris from
the
stream channel; removing trees that are undermining the abutments and wing
walls; conserving and resetting the bridge plaques; repairing the concrete
pylons; and replacing the balustrade system on the bridge. Once work is
completed, the bridge will no longer be categorized as structurally
deficient.

The one-span concrete arch-deck bridge was built in 1921. It is 86 feet
long
and 80 feet wide and carries an average of 16,611 vehicles a day.

Road-Con Inc. of West Chester, Chester County is the general contractor on
the
$1,329,212 project which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

I-76 Closures, Ramp Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

I-76 Closures, Ramp Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct
Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

1/31/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane and ramp closures will be in place at night next week on Interstate 76

between the 30th Street and South Street interchanges in Philadelphia,
including the overnight closures of eastbound I-76 and the westbound I-76
ramp
to 30th Street, for construction on the viaduct carrying Schuylkill Avenue
over
the expressway between Walnut Street and Market Street, the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, February 5, through Thursday, February 8, from 9:00 PM to 11:00
PM,
eastbound I-76 will be reduced to one lane, then closed completely from
11:00
PM to 5:00 AM the following morning between the Interstate 676 and the 30th

Street interchanges. During the overnight closure, eastbound I-76 traffic
will
exit at 30th Street and follow 30th Street to Chestnut Street, then left on

Chestnut Street and right on Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp to eastbound
I-76 at
Walnut Street;
• Monday, February 5, through Thursday, February 8, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, westbound I-76 will be reduced to one lane between the
I-676
and 30th Street interchanges; and
• Monday, February 5, through Thursday, February 8, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, the westbound I-76 ramp to 30th Street will be closed.
Ramp
traffic will be detoured west on I-76, east on I-676 to the 23rd Street
Exit,
south on 23rd Street to Market Street, and right on Market Street to 30th
Street.

All scheduled closures are subject to change depending on weather
conditions.
Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow additional time
for
travel on I-76 near the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

Construction crews on the $103.6 million project are removing sections of
the
existing concrete deck from the viaduct and repairing or replacing the
viaduct's deteriorated steel deck beams and cross members.

PennDOT is rehabilitating the Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill
River
and seven other nearby structures, including those carrying Schuylkill
Avenue
over I-76 between Walnut Street and Chestnut Street, and between Chestnut
Street and Market Street.

In addition to repairing and repainting the steel superstructure and
replacing
the deck of the main bridge carrying Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River
and the two Schuylkill Avenue structures over I-76, the project also
includes:

• Rehabilitating two structures on the Interstate 76 on-and-off-ramps
between
Chestnut Street and Walnut Street;
• Resurfacing Chestnut Street from 31st Street to 30th Street, and from
24th
Street to 23rd Street;
• Constructing wider sidewalks and installing decorative barrier and
railings
on the Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue bridges;
• Rehabilitating a 900-foot section of the river wall structure between
I-76
and the Schuylkill River from Market Street and Walnut Street;
• Rehabilitating a 15-foot section of the retaining wall supporting the
Schuylkill River Trail under Chestnut Street;
• Installing new traffic signals, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
equipment, and street lighting along Chestnut Street between 31st Street
and
23rd Street;
• Replacing millennium lighting on Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River;
• Constructing a new trellis at the Chestnut Street Trailhead to the
Schuylkill
River Trail;
• Restriping pavement markings for a bicycle lane on Chestnut Street
between
34th Street and 22nd Street; and
• Installing a new clear acrylic barrier along Amtrak Northeast Corridor
tracks
located on the west side of Schuylkill Avenue West between Chestnut Street
and
Walnut Street.

The bridges on Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue West will be under
construction concurrently and will remain open for most of the project.
There
will be various lane and sidewalk restrictions during the three stages of
construction that will require shifts in travel lane and sidewalk
configurations.

Approximately midway through the project, a detour will be in place for
about
one year on Chestnut Street from Schuylkill Avenue West to 23rd Street for
the
rehabilitation of the structurally deficient bridge carrying Chestnut
Street
over the CSX rail lines.

The Schuylkill River Trail will be closed below Chestnut Street for
approximately three months over the winter of 2017-2018 for repairs.

In addition, the on-and-off-ramps at the I-76 Interchange between Chestnut
Street and Walnut Street will be restricted to a single lane of traffic
during
construction. There will also be nighttime and weekend full closures of the

ramps during certain construction operations.

The entire project is scheduled to finish in fall 2020.

Buckley & Company Inc., of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.

U.S. 202 North Lane, Ramp Closures, Traffic Shift Next Weekend in Chester County

U.S. 202 North Lane, Ramp Closures, Traffic Shift Next Weekend in Chester
County

1/25/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane and ramp closures will be in place next weekend on northbound U.S. 202

between the Boot Road and U.S. 30 interchanges in East Whiteland and West
Whiteland townships, Chester County, to complete a traffic shift on the
northbound bridge over Amtrak, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation
(PennDOT) announced today.

From 10:00 PM Friday, February 2, to 10:00 AM Saturday, February 3, the
right
lane will be closed on northbound U.S. 202 approaching the work area as
crews
prepare to shift a single lane of northbound traffic onto the rebuilt
inside
half of the bridge Saturday morning. During the operation, a single lane
of
northbound traffic will travel through the work area using the northbound
express lane that has been established on the southbound side of the
expressway.

During the Express Lane traffic shift, northbound U.S. 202 motorists will
not
have access to the exit ramp to U.S. 30. The detour will direct northbound
U.S.
202 motorists to continue to the Route 401 (Conestoga Road) Interchange and

turn right onto Route 401 (Conestoga Road) to reach U.S. 30 (Lancaster
Avenue).

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the
construction area because slowdowns will occur. The work schedule is
weather
dependent.

The traffic shift marks the completion of the first stage of rehabilitation
of
the northbound bridge over the Amtrak rail lines at the southern end of the

U.S. 202/U.S. 30 Interchange that began in March 2017. During that stage,
crews
rehabilitated the left side of the northbound structure, cleaning and
refurbishing the steel superstructure and replacing the concrete deck and
parapets.

Following the shift, crews will begin approximately six months of work to
remove the existing concrete deck and parapets; rehabilitate the steel
superstructure; and redeck the outside half of the northbound bridge.

When work on the northbound bridge is completed in mid-2018, a new traffic
pattern will be established in the work zone for rehabilitation of the
southbound bridge. That new pattern will move two lanes of northbound
traffic
onto the northbound bridge and establish a single southbound express lane
on
the northbound structure.

One lane of southbound traffic will then be maintained on the southbound
bridge
while the southbound structure is rehabilitated and redecked a
half-at-a-time.

PennDOT completed replacement of the deteriorated concrete pavement on the
outer lane of the two-lane southbound U.S. 202 ramp to U.S. 30/Exton Bypass
in
December 2017. The concrete pavement on the inner lane of the two-lane
off-ramp
will be replaced at night and on weekends under temporary work zone traffic

patterns beginning in early spring. Those temporary patterns will be
removed
each morning by 5:00 AM to provide motorists two-lanes on the ramp during
peak
travel times.

Deteriorated concrete on the ramp from the eastbound U.S. 30/Exton Bypass
to
northbound U.S. 202 will be replaced beginning this spring.

The work is part of a $26.4 million project to rehabilitate the northbound
and
southbound U.S. 202 bridges over Amtrak and the adjacent U.S. 30 ramp, and
to
remove and replace deteriorated concrete pavement on the U.S. 202 ramps to
and
from the U.S. 30/Exton Bypass.

Allan A Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general
contractor
on the project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

I-76 Closures, Ramp Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

I-76 Closures, Ramp Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct
Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

1/25/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Lane and ramp closures will be in place at night next week on Interstate 76

between the 30th Street and South Street interchanges in Philadelphia,
including the overnight closures of eastbound I-76 and the westbound I-76
ramp
to 30th Street, for construction on the viaduct carrying Schuylkill Avenue
over
the expressway between Walnut Street and Market Street, the Pennsylvania
Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, January 29, through Thursday, February 1, from 9:00 PM to 11:00
PM,
eastbound I-76 will be reduced to one lane, then closed completely from
11:00
PM to 5:00 AM the following morning between the Interstate 676 and the 30th

Street interchanges. During the overnight closure, eastbound I-76 traffic
will
exit at 30th Street and follow 30th Street to Chestnut Street, then left on

Chestnut Street and right on Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp to eastbound
I-76 at
Walnut Street;
• Monday, January 29, through Thursday, February 1, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, westbound I-76 will be reduced to one lane between the
I-676
and 30th Street interchanges; and
• Monday, January 29, through Thursday, February 1, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, the westbound I-76 ramp to 30th Street will be closed.
Ramp
traffic will be detoured west on I-76, east on I-676 to the 23rd Street
Exit,
south on 23rd Street to Market Street, and right on Market Street to 30th
Street.

All scheduled closures are subject to change depending on weather
conditions.
Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow additional time
for
travel on I-76 near the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

Construction crews on the $103.6 million project are removing sections of
the
existing concrete deck from the viaduct and repairing or replacing the
viaduct's deteriorated steel deck beams and cross members.

PennDOT is rehabilitating the Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill
River
and seven other nearby structures, including those carrying Schuylkill
Avenue
over I-76 between Walnut Street and Chestnut Street, and between Chestnut
Street and Market Street.

In addition to repairing and repainting the steel superstructure and
replacing
the deck of the main bridge carrying Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River
and the two Schuylkill Avenue structures over I-76, the project also
includes:

• Rehabilitating two structures on the Interstate 76 on-and-off-ramps
between
Chestnut Street and Walnut Street;
• Resurfacing Chestnut Street from 31st Street to 30th Street, and from
24th
Street to 23rd Street;
• Constructing wider sidewalks and installing decorative barrier and
railings
on the Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue bridges;
• Rehabilitating a 900-foot section of the river wall structure between
I-76
and the Schuylkill River from Market Street and Walnut Street;
• Rehabilitating a 15-foot section of the retaining wall supporting the
Schuylkill River Trail under Chestnut Street;
• Installing new traffic signals, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
equipment, and street lighting along Chestnut Street between 31st Street
and
23rd Street;
• Replacing millennium lighting on Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River;
• Constructing a new trellis at the Chestnut Street Trailhead to the
Schuylkill
River Trail;
• Restriping pavement markings for a bicycle lane on Chestnut Street
between
34th Street and 22nd Street; and
• Installing a new clear acrylic barrier along Amtrak Northeast Corridor
tracks
located on the west side of Schuylkill Avenue West between Chestnut Street
and
Walnut Street.

The bridges on Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue West will be under
construction concurrently and will remain open for most of the project.
There
will be various lane and sidewalk restrictions during the three stages of
construction that will require shifts in travel lane and sidewalk
configurations.

Approximately midway through the project, a detour will be in place for
about
one year on Chestnut Street from Schuylkill Avenue West to 23rd Street for
the
rehabilitation of the structurally deficient bridge carrying Chestnut
Street
over the CSX rail lines.

The Schuylkill River Trail will be closed below Chestnut Street for
approximately three months over the winter of 2017-2018 for repairs.

In addition, the on-and-off-ramps at the I-76 Interchange between Chestnut
Street and Walnut Street will be restricted to a single lane of traffic
during
construction. There will also be nighttime and weekend full closures of the

ramps during certain construction operations.

The entire project is scheduled to finish in fall 2020.

Buckley & Company Inc., of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.

Wolf Administration Announces Work Underway to Replace Main Street Bridge over Perkiomen Creek in Bucks County

Wolf Administration Announces Work Underway to Replace Main Street Bridge
over Perkiomen Creek in Bucks County

1/22/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that preliminary construction is
underway on a project to replace the three-span bridge carrying Main Street

over Perkiomen Creek in Sellersville Borough, Bucks County.

"This is a key transportation project for this region, one that has been a
long
time in the making," Governor Tom Wolf said. "This is a significant bridge
replacement not just for Sellersville Borough, but for that region of Bucks

County. It is critical to the area businesses as well as those who live and

travel in that area."

Beginning Wednesday, January 24, through mid-February, from 9:00 AM to 3:00
PM,
lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled in both directions on Main
Street
between Park Avenue and Elm Street, as crews perform pipe drainage work;
remove
trees; construct an access road; and relocate utilities.

During construction, the bridge will remain open to vehicular and
pedestrian
traffic as the contractor builds the new structure. However, there will be
additional periods of lane restrictions with flagging.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the area
because slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather
dependent.

Crews will replace the current bridge with a new two-span, pre-stressed,
concrete bulb-tee beam bridge. The project scope includes the installation
of
eight-foot sidewalks on both sides; resurfacing of the bridge approaches;
and
performing safety upgrades and other miscellaneous construction. The new
structure will be 56 feet wide and 153 feet long.

The current bridge, built in 1940, is 46 feet wide and 128 feet long. The
existing structure is currently posted for 13 tons and 17 tons for
combination
vehicles.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County, is the general contractor on
the
$4,537,292 improvement project which is financed with 80 percent federal
and 20
percent state funds. Construction on this bridge improvement project is
expected to be completed in spring 2019.
