DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Aqua Pennsylvania has announced that water main construction will necessitate the closure of Providence Road in Upper Darby Township and Yeadon Borough starting Friday, January 17. The project, which is scheduled to continue through Friday, March 14, will impact weekday traffic from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
During this period, Providence Road will be closed between Hilldale Road and Lansdowne Avenue. A detour route will guide motorists to use Oak Avenue, Baltimore Avenue, and Lansdowne Avenue. Local access will be maintained up to the work zone.
Drivers traveling near the construction area are advised to plan for extra travel time, as traffic backups and delays are anticipated. The schedule for all construction activities is weather dependent.
This project, carried out under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit, is part of Aqua Pennsylvania’s ongoing efforts to improve water service infrastructure in the region. Residents and commuters are urged to exercise caution and remain alert for crews working in the vicinity.
