PennDOT to Repair and Resurface Several State Highways in the Philadelphia Region

Motorists will encounter lane restrictions on several state highways in the Philadelphia region for resurfacing operations as a part of several projects to repair and resurface more than 200 miles of state highway in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Work on these projects will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.

The work schedule and locations are:

Delaware County

• Sunday, June 7, through Saturday, June 13, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, lane restrictions are scheduled on U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) between County Line Road and Radnor Chester Road in Radnor Township for milling and paving operations; and
• Tuesday, June 9, through Friday, June 12, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, lane restrictions are scheduled on King of Prussia Road between Eagle Road & Biddulph Road in Radnor Township for high friction surface treatment.

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

Under these improvement projects, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
