Allegheny Avenue Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for Safety
Improvement Project in Philadelphia

4/20/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Weeknight and weekday lane restrictions are scheduled next week on
Allegheny
Avenue at two intersections in Philadelphia for construction activities
related
to a project to improve travel flow and safety on a four-and-a-half mile
section of Allegheny Avenue between Ridge Avenue and Tulip Street, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, April 23, through Friday, April 27, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, lane

restrictions are scheduled on Allegheny Avenue at its intersection with
U.S. 13
(Hunting Park Avenue) and Germantown Avenue, for milling operations; and
• Thursday, April 26, and Friday, April 27, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane
restrictions are scheduled on Allegheny Avenue at its intersection with
U.S. 13
(Hunting Park Avenue) and Germantown Avenue, for paving operations.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work
zones
because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's schedule
is
weather dependent.

As part of this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor is installing new

signal controllers, poles, mast arms, and LED signal heads; optimizing
signal
timing, phasing, and coordination settings; building ADA curb ramps; and
installing pedestrian bump-outs at selected intersections.

The scope of work also includes the installation of street lighting under
overpasses along Allegheny Avenue at 20th Street, 18th Street, Collins
Street
and Witte Street; and new sidewalk, drainage and green stormwater
facilities
along Allegheny Avenue at 32nd Street, 28th Street, 26th Street, Hunting
Park
Avenue/Henry Avenue/30th Street, Germantown Avenue/Sedgley Avenue/11th
Street,
17th Street, 16th Street, Kip Street, B Street, Rosehill Street, Rorer
Street
and Kensington Avenue.

Seravalli, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $7 million

project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. The entire
project
is scheduled to be completed in the fall.
