    Municipality: City of Philadelphia
    State Route: U.S. 1
    Local Name: Roosevelt Boulevard
    Project Type: Crossover and Intersection Improvements
    MPMS Number: 114173

    The primary goal of this project is to implement strategic crossover and intersection improvements to enhance safety and efficiency along the U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) corridor in Philadelphia. Five locations along U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) have been identified as top priorities for improvements, including the intersections at Revere/Faunce Street, Strahle Street, Winchester Avenue, Michener Street, and Fulmer Street. The proposed changes are based on recommendations from the Roosevelt Boulevard Route for Change report, completed on May 14, 2021, and prepared independently of this project. The scope of work includes crossover enhancements, realigning crosswalks, reconstructing ADA curb ramps, upgrading traffic signals, and improving pedestrian access to public transit by constructing concrete pads for future SEPTA bus shelter upgrades. Construction began in the fall of 2025 and is expected to conclude in the summer of 2028. The project is fully funded by federal dollars.

    Construction Update

    Crossover reconstruction will continue in November on southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) approaching Cottman Avenue (Route 73).
