Kelly Drive Daytime and Nighttime Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Daytime and nighttime lane closures are scheduled in both directions on Kelly Drive at the Gustine Lake Interchange from Lincoln Drive to just west of the Falls Bridge in Philadelphia, on Thursday, August 16, and Friday, August 17, from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM and 6:30 PM to 6:30 AM, for resurfacing operations, 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.
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 work is 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 project also included improvements to 22 curb ramps. This work has been completed.
Work on the entire project is expected to be completed by the end of August.
Tony DePaul and Son of Philadelphia, PA is the general contractor on the $1,843,749 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
