    King of Prussia, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction planned this weekend on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) for application of an epoxy overlay on the recently rehabilitated Wayne Junction Viaduct in Philadelphia has been rescheduled due to weather.

    Motorists are advised of the following revised travel restrictions:

    • Saturday, September 30, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 AM Sunday, October 1, a single lane closure will be in place on northbound U.S.1 between 9th Street and Fox Street; and
    • Sunday, October 1, from 3:30 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, two lanes will be closed on southbound U.S.1 between 9th Street and Fox Street.
