King of Prussia, PA – Lane restrictions will be in place at night next week on northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between Interstate 76 and Fox Street in Philadelphia for construction activities on the overhead Fox Street bridge, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, September 12, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) will be reduced to a single lane; and
• Tuesday, September 13, through Friday, September 16, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) will be reduced to two lanes.

Periodic lane closures will also be in place at night next week on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between the 16th Street and Fox Street overpasses. The work schedule is:

• Monday, September 12, through Thursday, September 15, periodically from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) may be reduced to a single lane; and
