PennDOT to Repair and Resurface Several State Highways in the Philadelphia Region

King of Prussia, PA – Motorists will encounter lane restrictions on several state highways in the Philadelphia region for resurfacing operations as a part of several projects to repair and resurface more than 200 miles of state highway in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Work on these projects will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.

The work schedule and locations are:

Bucks County

• Monday, July 27, through Friday, July 31, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 513 (Hulmeville Road/Bellevue Avenue) between Galloway Avenue and Durham Avenue in Penndale/Hulmeville boroughs and Bensalem Township for milling and paving operations.

Chester County

• Sunday, July 26, through Wednesday, July 29, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 100 (Pottstown Pike) between Welsh Pool Road and Garrison Drive in Uwchlan Township for milling and paving operations.

Montgomery County

 

• Sunday, July 26, through Friday, July 31, from 7:00 PM to 5 :00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Route 73 (Skippack Pike) between Mara Drive and Bethlehem Pike in Whitpain and Whitemarsh townships for sawing and sealing operations.

Philadelphia

• Monday, July 27, though Friday, July 31, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane restrictions are scheduled on Marshall Road between Cobbs Creek Parkway and the Marshall Road Bridge over Cobbs Creek or milling and paving operations.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because slowdowns will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under these improvement projects, 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.
