Law Enforcement Across Southeast Pennsylvania to Target Impaired Drivers and Boaters During Independence Day Holiday

​King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that Pennsylvania's DUI Task Forces, the Pennsylvania State Police and municipal police departments from Bucks, Chester, Delaware and Montgomery counties will conduct impaired-driving enforcement activities as part of a statewide Independence Day Mobilization which runs through Wednesday, July 4.

Police will target impaired drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs using roving patrols and checkpoints to enforce Pennsylvania's DUI laws.

PennDOT data shows that in 2017, there were 12,137 impaired driving-related crashes in Pennsylvania, a decrease from the 12,757 such crashes in 2016. Over the Independence Day holiday period last year, there were 2,902 crashes and 40 fatalities statewide. Of those, 273 crashes and 10 fatalities were impaired driving-related.

While the number of alcohol-impaired driving crashes statewide have decreased in recent years, drug-impaired driving crashes continue to increase. According to PennDOT data, in 2017 there were 4,301 drug related crashes and 145 fatalities statewide, an increase from the 4,143 crashes and 153 fatalities in 2016. Over the Independence Day holiday period last year, there were 108 drug related crashes, resulting in five fatalities.

Law Enforcement agencies will also be conducting mobilizations on Pennsylvania's waterways to enforce the state's BUI laws. Boaters can be arrested for BUI while operating any watercraft if they are incapable of safe operation regardless of any blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of alcohol and or drugs.

PennDOT encourages you to always plan ahead by either designating a sober driver or arranging for alternate transportation.

PennDOT - District 6 News: 22nd Street Scheduled to Close Tuesday for Bridge Construction in Philadelphia

An update has been published to District 6 News on the PennDOT website. Please see below for details.

PennDOT - District 6 News

22nd Street Scheduled to Close Tuesday for Bridge Construction in Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – 22nd Street is scheduled to be closed and detoured between Arch Street and Market Street on Tuesday, July 3, from 2:00 AM to 6:00 AM, for a concrete deck pour on JFK Boulevard as part of a project to rehabilitate three bridges on JFK Boulevard over 21st, 22nd and 23rd streets in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

During the weekend closure, motorists will be directed to use Market Street, 20th Street and Arch Street.

The eastbound lanes of JFK Boulevard have been closed since the project began in late January of this year. Eastbound JFK Boulevard motorists will continue to be detoured over Schuylkill Avenue, 30th Street, Market Street and 20th Street. The eastbound lanes will remain closed through the completion of construction, which is scheduled for mid-November of 2018.

Construction on the JFK Boulevard bridges is being performed one half at a time as the department's contractor replaces the deteriorated deck and beams on the three structurally-deficient, prestressed adjacent box-beam bridges. The deteriorated bridge decks have been in place since the late 1950s.

In addition to replacing the bridge deck, crews are reconstructing JFK Boulevard from the eastern end of the bridge over the Schuylkill River to just east of 21st Street, and widening the sidewalk on the south side to match the sidewalk built on the JFK Boulevard bridge over the Schuylkill River.

Crews are also building a new center median; reconstructing the westbound sidewalk on JFK Boulevard to allow for a future multi-use trail; constructing a pedestrian stairway and ramp from the westbound sidewalk to 22nd Street; and installing new drainage, pavement markings and highway lighting.

Following the completion of construction, the eastbound single-lane pattern on JFK Boulevard will be extended from the bridge over the Schuylkill River to just east of 21st Street.

C. Abbonizio Contractors, Inc., of Sewell, NJ, is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 100 percent state funds.

This project is a follow-up to the structural improvements made from 2007 to 2009 when PennDOT rehabilitated the JFK Boulevard bridge over the Schuylkill River under a $17.9 million project.

For more information on projects occurring or being bid this year, those made possible by or accelerated by Act 89, or those on the department's Four and Twelve Year Plans, visit www.projects.penndot.gov.

From 8:00 PM Thursday, July 5, to 5:00 AM Friday, July 6, and from 8:00 PM Friday, July 6, to 10:00 AM Saturday, July 7, the right lane on northbound U.S. 202 will be closed approaching the U.S. 30 Interchange for pavement joint cutting and sealing, and line painting on both sides of the bridge over Amtrak.

PennDOT - District 6 News: I-76 Lane Closures Monday Night for Viaduct Construction near 30th Street in Philadelphia

An update has been published to District 6 News on the PennDOT website. Please see below for details.

PennDOT - District 6 News

I-76 Lane Closures Monday Night for Viaduct Construction near 30th Street in Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 76 will be reduced to a single lane in both directions between the South Street and Interstate 676 interchanges in Philadelphia on Monday, July 2, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for construction on the viaduct carrying Schuylkill Avenue over the expressway between Walnut Street and Market Street and on the ramp from westbound I-76 to 30th Street, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. 

In addition, the ramp from westbound I-76 to 30th Street will close on Monday, July 2, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for repairs. Motorists normally using this ramp will be detoured west on I-76, east on I-676, exit at 23rd Street, left on 22rd Street, left on the ramp to westbound I-676, and east on I-76 to the ramp to 30th Street. 

Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow extra time when traveling on I-76 near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Construction crews on the $103.6 million project are repairing or replacing the viaduct's deteriorated steel deck beams and cross members and the ramp's expansion dams and concrete pavement. 

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 beginning in mid-2019, 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 2018-2019 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.
