​King of Prussia, PA – Motorists will encounter lane closures on several state highways including Lincoln Drive and 65th Street on Monday, November 5, through Friday, November 9, as part of a project to repair and resurface 15 miles of state highway in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

• 5th Street between Walnut Street and Race Street, from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, and 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for paving operations.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because slowdowns will occur. The contractor's schedule is dependent on the weather.

• Washington Lane between Chew Avenue and Route 309 (Cheltenham Avenue); and
• Philmont Avenue between Byberry Road and the Bucks County line.

State highways scheduled for resurfacing under this contract include:

• Walnut Street (Route 3) between 24th Street and South Broad Street (Route 611);
• 26th Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and Girard Avenue;
• 29th Street between 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.

Work on the project is expected to be completed in December 2018.
