Major Project To Make City Avenue Safer Launches
Work will affect traffic on City Avenue through early fall as pedestrian safety, intersections, and drainage are improved along the road.
LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — A major project is underway on City Avenue that will make it safer for pedestrians, improve intersections, and add better drainage along the road.

City Avenue will have single lane closures through early fall 2020. Lanes will be closed weekdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
