U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) Lane Closures Scheduled at Two Intersections for Curb Ramp Improvements in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) motorists will encounter weekday single lane closures in the inner and outer lanes at the Grant Avenue and Red Lion Road intersections in Philadelphia, on Monday, July 16, through Monday, July 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, 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), on Monday, July 16, through Monday, July 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling in both directions 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.
