Academy Road Weekday and Weeknight Lane Restrictions Scheduled for
Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia

5/18/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime and nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled in both directions on

Academy Road between Knights Road and the Interstate 95 Interchange on
Monday,
May 21, through Friday, May 25, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 5:00
AM,
for resurfacing operations as part of a project to repair and resurface 20
miles of state highway in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

weather.

State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:

• Knights Road between U.S. 13 (Frankford Avenue) and the bridge over
Poquessing Creek.

Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract
include:

• Erie Avenue between U.S. 13 (Hunting Park Avenue) and Kensington Avenue;
and
• Chew Avenue/Olney Avenue between Mount Airy Avenue and Broad Street
(Route
611).

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway
surface
and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will
seal
the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

James J. Anderson Construction Co., Inc., of Philadelphia, is the general
contractor on the $7,196,303 project, which is financed with 100 percent
state
funds from Act 89, Pennsylvania's Transportation Plan.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in October 2018.
