PROSPECT PARK, PA — Drivers should prepare for nearly a month of periodic weekday lane closures on northbound Route 420 (Wanamaker Avenue) beginning Tuesday, September 8, as bridge construction continues in Prospect Park Borough and Tinicum Township.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Northbound Route 420 (Wanamaker Avenue) between Interstate 95 and 4th Avenue
- Dates: Tuesday, September 8, through Friday, October 2
- Times: 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM on weekdays
- Reason: Bridge construction
The lane closure will be implemented periodically during the scheduled daytime work hours rather than continuously throughout the project.
PennDOT advises drivers to plan extra time because backups and delays are expected through the construction zone. Seek an alternate route when possible and use caution when approaching lane restrictions.
The work is part of a $36 million project to replace two structures carrying Route 420 over Darby Creek. All scheduled activities depend on weather conditions.
