The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that pavement repair will occur at night next week and continuously next weekend on northbound and southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) under the $100.6 million project to rehabilitate the Wayne Junction Viaduct over the SEPTA tracks and Nicetown neighborhood of Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, May 13, through Friday, April 17, from 6:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. the following morning, a single lane closure will be in place periodically on southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between Fox Street and Interstate 76.
- Monday, May 13, through Friday, April 17, from 7:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. the following morning, a single lane closure will be in place periodically on northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between I-76 and Fox Street.
- From 6:00 p.m. Friday, May 17, to 5:30 a.m. Monday, May 20, a single lane closure with periodic double lane closures will be in place on northbound or southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) between Fox Street and I-76.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The lane closures are needed so PennDOT’s contractor can repair the southbound lanes and place an epoxy overlay to extend the life of the southbound pavement between the Wayne Avenue Viaduct and I-76.
