Newark Road Lane Restrictions Scheduled Next Week for Safety Improvement Project in New Garden Township, Chester County

​King of Prussia, PA – Lane restrictions with flagging are scheduled on Newark Road between Daniel Drive and Maple Lane in New Garden Township, Chester County, on Monday, April 1, through Friday, April 6, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for pole installation and tree clearing operations related to a project to improve traffic flow and safety at the intersection of Newark Road and Hillendale Road, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work zone because slowdowns will occur during construction. The contractor's schedule is weather dependent.

As part of this project, PennDOT's contractor will work to improve the intersection of Newark Road and Hillendale Road. The scope of work includes adjusting the horizontal and vertical alignments to improve driver sight distance; constructing a left turn lane to facilitate southbound movements from Newark Road onto eastbound Hillendale Road; installing guide rail and single-face barrier; reconstructing two culverts; road widening; and extending a sewer line along Newark Road through the project limits.

Allan A. Myers, LP, of Worcester, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $2.3 million project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2020.

PennDOT - District 6 News

U.S. 1 North Right Lane Closure at Night Next Week for Construction in Bensalem Township

King of Prussia, PA – Northbound U.S. 1 motorists will encounter a right lane closure between Old Lincoln Highway and Rockhill Drive in Bensalem Township, Bucks County on Monday, April 1, through Friday, April 5, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning for construction activities on a project to widen and improve U.S.1 and reconstruct the interchange at Street Road (Route 132), the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

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

The lane restrictions will be in place as construction continues to remove the existing northbound U.S.1 concrete pavement; install the project's stormwater drainage system; dismantle overhead signs; and begin construction activities on the Street Road (Route 132) overpass. 

The first of two years of northbound work, including reconstruction of the Street Road (Route 132) ramps on both sides of the interchange, is currently underway on the project to widen and improve a 1.3-mile section of U.S. 1 from Old Lincoln Highway, at the Philadelphia border, to north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Bensalem Interchange.

This corridor improvement project is the first of three construction contracts to rebuild and widen U.S. 1; replace aging bridges; and install safety enhancements along a four-mile section of the expressway from just north of Philadelphia to just north of Route 413 (Pine Street) in Middletown Township and Langhorne Borough.

PennDOT - District 6 News: I-76 East Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Start of Viaduct Rehabilitation in Center City Philadelphia

An update has been published to District 6 News on the PennDOT website. Please see below for details.

PennDOT - District 6 News

I-76 East Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Start of Viaduct Rehabilitation in Center City Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – Eastbound Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) will be reduced to a single lane at night late next week and next weekend between the 30th Street and University Avenue interchanges in Philadelphia for the start of a two-year project to rehabilitate the 6,120-foot-long viaduct that carries the expressway through Center City, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. 

 

The contractor's work schedule for reducing eastbound I-76 from two lanes-to-one is: 

• 9:00 PM Thursday, April 4, to 5:00 AM Friday, April 5;
• 9:00 PM Friday April 5, to 10:00 AM Saturday, April 6;
• 9:00 PM Saturday, April 6 to 10:00 AM Sunday, April 7; and
• 9:00 PM Sunday, April 7, to 5:00 AM Monday, April 8.
  

The lane closures will allow crews to clean out drainage inlets and begin repairing the expansion dams on the eastbound side of the 289-span viaduct. 

PennDOT is repairing and resurfacing the Center City Philadelphia viaduct under a $39.8 million contract that also includes repairs to the three-span I-76 structure over Route 23 (Conshohocken State Road) and Arrowmink Creek in West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County just east of the Interstate 476/Conshohocken Interchange. 

During repairs to the Center City structure, one side of the expressway at a time will be reduced to a single lane or closed completely overnight. In addition, one side of the expressway at a time will be reduced to a single lane during weekend daytime hours a minimum of 10 times eastbound (in 2019) and 10 times westbound (2020) on non-holiday and select weekends.  

Rehabilitation of the Center City viaduct includes repairing or replacing expansion joints; repairing deteriorated sections of the concrete decks; rehabilitating numerous piers, columns and other sub-structure components; repairing the viaducts' drainage system; and repaving the deck with a concrete overlay.

Repairs to the structure in West Conshohocken are expected to begin in May or June 2019 and will be completed by November 2019. Work on this viaduct, which includes repairs to expansion joints, deck beams and other structural components, will be done using single lane overnight closures seven days a week between 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM.  

Information about the project, including each week's planned lane restrictions and/or closings, is available at the project website: www.I76viaduct.com.
