U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) Lane Closures Scheduled at Two Intersections
for Curb Ramp Improvements in Philadelphia

4/30/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) motorists will encounter single lane closures
in
the inner and outer lanes at the Grant Avenue and Red Lion Road
intersections
in Philadelphia, beginning Thursday, May 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
through
the end of May, for ADA curb ramp installations, the Pennsylvania
Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

In addition, periodic right lane closures are planned on Grant Avenue and
Red
Lion Road at U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard).

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.

The work is part of the city's Boulevard Direct project, which included
construction of new bus shelters, plazas and sidewalks along the U.S. 1
(Roosevelt Boulevard) corridor at the intersections of Cottman Avenue
(Route
73), Rhawn Street, Welsh Road, Grant Avenue and Red Lion Road.

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

$2,444,263 million project which is financed with federal and local funds.

The city's project coincided 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
milled the existing roadway surface and repaved the outside, local lanes
with
new asphalt. The project, which was completed in November 2017, also
included
resurfacing crossover lanes.
