King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced today that the intersection of Allegheny Avenue and Delaware Avenue will close next weekend for construction in Northeast Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- From 6:00 AM Friday, June 2, until approximately 4:00 PM Sunday, June 4, the Allegheny Avenue/Delaware Avenue intersection will be closed to through-traffic for installation of Conrail tracks and drainage pipes. Motorists will be detoured on Castor Avenue and Richmond Street around the closed intersection.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel near the work area or use alternate routes around the construction because backups and delays will occur. All activities are weather permitting.
The work is part of PennDOT's $31.2 million I-95/Section AF2 project to reconstruct and improve sections of Delaware, Allegheny and Castor avenues to enhance traffic movement on surface streets in the vicinity of the I-95 Allegheny/Castor Avenue Interchange.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles 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 1,000 traffic cameras.
