Kelly Drive Daytime and Nighttime Lane Restrictions Scheduled for
Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia

5/8/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime and nighttime lane restrictions are scheduled in both directions on

Kelly Drive between Lincoln Drive and Calumet Street/Falls Road (Falls
Bridge)
in Philadelphia, on Thursday, May 10, through Friday, June 8, from 9:30 AM
to
3:30 PM and 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM, for milling and paving operations as part
of a
project to repair and resurface 3.5 miles of Kelly Drive between 25th
Street
and Hunting Park Avenue and the Kelly Drive ramp to Ridge Avenue, the
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

Under this improvement project, PennDOT's contractor is repairing the road
base, milling the existing roadway surface, and repaving Kelly Drive with
an
ultra-thin friction course pavement. The friction course is designed to
improve
traction and help channel storm water off the roadway. The project also
includes improvements to 22 curb ramps.

Work on the entire project is expected to be completed in late June.

Tony DePaul and Son of Philadelphia, PA is the general contractor on the
$2,441,022 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

For more information on projects occurring or being bid this year, those
