​King of Prussia, PA – Motorists will encounter lane restrictions on Route 611 (Broad Street/York Road) and Route 73 (Cottman Avenue) for paving and other road work, as part of a project to repair and resurface 39 miles of state highway in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
