Philmont Avenue Weekday and Weeknight Lane Restrictions Scheduled for Resurfacing Operations in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Weekday and weeknight lane restrictions are scheduled on Philmont Avenue between Byberry Road and the Bucks County line beginning Monday, August 20, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM and 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for resurfacing operations as part of a project to repair and resurface 15 miles of state highway in Philadelphia. This work is expected to take two-to-three weeks to complete.
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.
Additional state highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include:
• Washington Lane between Chew Avenue and Route 309 (Cheltenham Avenue);
• Lincoln Drive between West Cliveden Street and West Allens Lane;
• Walnut Street (Route 3) between 24th Street and South Broad Street (Route 611);
• 5th Street between Walnut Street and Spring Garden Street;
• Dauphin Street between Ridge Avenue and Aramingo Avenue;
• 65th Street between Kingsessing Avenue and Passyunk Avenue;
• 29th Street between West Girard Avenue and U.S. 13 (West Hunting Park Avenue); and
• The ramp from Front Street to southbound Interstate 95.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill the existing roadway surface and repave the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
Tony DePaul and Son of Flourtown, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $6,754,325 project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
Work on the project is expected to be completed in December 2018.
