PHILADELPHIA, PA — Drivers across the region should expect delays next week as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) continues a series of resurfacing and pavement repair projects spanning Philadelphia, Bucks, Chester, and Delaware counties. The work is part of a broader effort to repair and resurface more than 200 miles of state highways across the five-county region.
In Philadelphia, crews will perform line painting along several key corridors from Monday, November 17, through Friday, November 21, between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Work zones include sections of Chestnut Street between 22nd Street and Broad Street, Walnut Street between Broad and 23rd, Oregon Avenue between Delaware Avenue and 15th Street, and Penn Square near City Hall.
In Bucks County, lane closures with flagging will be in effect daily along U.S. 13 (Bristol Pike) between Poquessing Creek and Route 63 (Woodhaven Road), and along Knights Road between Route 132 (Street Road) and Poquessing Creek in Bensalem Township.
Chester County motorists will encounter flagging on Hanover Street at Krepps Lane in North Coventry Township from Monday, November 17, through Wednesday, November 19, for paving operations.
In Delaware County, lane restrictions with flagging will take place Thursday, November 20, and Friday, November 21, on Township Line Road between Route 452 (Market Street) and Bethel Road in Trainer Borough, the City of Chester, and Upper Chichester Township.
PennDOT advises motorists to allow extra travel time when passing through these work zones, as traffic backups and delays are expected. All schedules are weather dependent.
The resurfacing program aims to extend roadway life and enhance driving safety by sealing pavement, improving drainage, and providing a smoother surface for travelers.
