King of Prussia, PA – The Front Street ramp is scheduled to close, and lane restrictions are scheduled on Lincoln Drive for resurfacing operations as part of a project to repair and resurface 15 miles of state highway in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The work schedule is:

During the closure, Front Street motorists will be directed to use Broad Street to access southbound I-95; and
- Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Lincoln Drive between Mt. Pleasant Avenue and Wayne Avenue for high friction surface treatment and line striping.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because slowdowns will occur. The contractor's schedule is dependent on the weather.
State highways completed under this resurfacing project include:
- 65th Street between Kingsessing Avenue and Lindbergh Boulevard;
- Dauphin Street between Ridge Avenue and Aramingo Avenue;
- Market Street between 2nd Street and 4th Street;
- 63rd Street between Passyunk Avenue and Lindbergh Boulevard;
