​King of Prussia, PA – Lane restrictions are scheduled on 65th Street and Lincoln Drive for line striping and high friction surface treatment as part of a project to repair and resurface 15 miles of state highway in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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.
