At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Orange Street, Baltimore Avenue, Ridley Creek Road, Kirk Lane
- Dates: Tuesday, June 16, through Wednesday, November 11
- Times: Weekdays, 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM
- Reason: Aqua Pennsylvania utility construction
Aqua Pennsylvania is scheduled to begin utility construction on Orange Street on Tuesday, June 16, resulting in weekday closures between Fifth Street and Kirk Lane in Media Borough and Upper Providence Township.
The closure will remain in effect weekdays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM through Wednesday, November 11.
During the closure, drivers will be directed to use Baltimore Avenue, Ridley Creek Road, and Kirk Lane to travel around the work zone.
Local access for residents and businesses will be maintained throughout the project.
Because the restrictions are expected to remain in place for nearly five months, motorists should anticipate changing traffic patterns and periodic delays along both the detour route and surrounding road network. Plan extra time for daytime travel and seek alternate routes when practical.
All scheduled work is weather dependent.
