Ridge Avenue Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Safety Improvement Project in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Motorists will encounter lane closures with flagging on Ridge Avenue between Broad Street (Route 611) and Spring Garden Street in Philadelphia, on Monday, August 6, through Friday, August 10, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for construction activities related to a project to improve travel and safety along a 1.3-mile section of Ridge Avenue, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. The project is scheduled to be completed this summer.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. The work schedule is weather dependent.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT is upgrading 11 signalized intersections by adding pedestrian countdown signal heads; installing overhead signals and installing LED street lighting; and upgrading the fiber interconnect traffic signal system, signal cabinets, controllers, signing and pavement markings along this corridor.
Armour & Sons Electric, Inc. of Langhorne, Bucks County, is the general contractor on the $1,698,438 project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
