City Of Philadelphia: Two Major Roxborough Thoroughfares Scheduled For Resurfacing

Press release from the City of Philadelphia:

June 30, 2021

PHILADELPHIA – The Streets Department continues its paving season on two major Roxborough thoroughfares beginning the evening of Tuesday July 6th, announced Streets Commissioner Carlton Williams.  Temporary street closures and parking restrictions to accommodate street resurfacing are scheduled for the following streets:

• Domino Lane from Umbria Street to Valley Avenue
• Valley Avenue from Wigard Avenue to Henry Avenue

The resurfacing work for these streets is expected to be completed by late July.  Work will be completed in three separate phases – street milling, the adjustment of manhole covers and resetting of utility boxes, and final paving – which will take place in separate activities over the course of the next several weeks.

Operations for the milling work (removal of old asphalt) will be performed during the overnight hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.  Milling of each street segment is expected to last approximately one-to-two nights per street. Work for adjusting manhole covers and resetting utility boxes will be scheduled during the day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and is expected to last approximately one week per street. Lastly, operations for the final paving will be performed by the contractor during the overnight hours between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. The final paving of each street segment is expected to last approximately one-to-two nights per street.

To complete the work, residents should expect parking restrictions.  Temporary ‘No Parking’ signs will be posted in advance of each scheduled activity.  Residents are urged to move their cars from the work sites when temporary ‘No Parking’ signs are posted, so that vehicles are not towed.  In the event a car is towed, contact the Fifth Police District to determine its location.  Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling around the work areas.

This work is being completed by James J. Anderson Construction Co, Inc., and is part of the Citywide Resurfacing CW108 project.  The project is being financed with Federal and City funding.

Residents and businesses can stay updated on the progress of their street using the PavePHL tool, the Department’s web map paving tracker which allows residents to go online and view the progress of a street scheduled for paving. The Streets Department thanks residents in advance for their patience and cooperation during this project.
