King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that resurfacing operations will occur next week on two state highways in Philadelphia and Chester counties, under several ongoing projects to repair and resurface more than 240 miles of state highway across the five-county region.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Sunday, March 29, through Thursday, April 2, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures with flagging will be in place on Union Street/Kaolin Road/Limestone Road between Southwood Road and Schoolhouse Lane in Chester County.
- Monday, March 30, through Friday, April 3, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, a lane closure will be in place Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday on Broad Street (Route 611) between Oregon Avenue and the Navy Yard in Philadelphia.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under these resurfacing and improvement projects, PennDOT’s contractors are repairing, milling, and repaving state highways with new asphalt pavement that will seal roadways and provide motorists with a safer and smoother riding surface.
Drivers can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
