    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that resurfacing is scheduled on several state highways in Philadelphia and Chester counties, under several projects to repair and pave more than 200 miles of state highway across the Philadelphia Region.

    The work schedules and locations are:

    Philadelphia

    • Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane closures are scheduled in both directions on U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Adams Avenue and Summerdale Avenue for intersection improvements.

    Chester County

    • Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 7, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, alternating lane closures are scheduled on northbound U.S. 1 (Kennett-Oxford Bypass) between the U.S. 1 (Kennett-Oxford Bypass) bridge over branch of Tweed Creek and the Maryland State line in West Nottingham and East Nottingham townships for paving;
    • Wednesday, July 5, through Friday, July 7, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure is scheduled on Route 272 (Christine Road/Chrome Road) between Baltimore Pike and the Maryland State line in West Nottingham and East Nottingham townships for milling; and

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

    Currently, PennDOT is working on several resurfacing projects in the Philadelphia Region totaling $134 million. Under these projects, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surfaces and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.

    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.
