Traffic, flagging

LOWER MERION TWP, PA — A.P. Construction, Inc. has announced the commencement of construction activities for the new pedestrian bridge at St. Joseph’s University, located on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County. This vital infrastructure project aims to enhance pedestrian safety and accessibility in the busy thoroughfare.

The construction will necessitate lane closures in both directions on City Avenue, spanning from Lapsley Lane to 59th Street. These closures will be in effect from 7:00 AM on Monday, November 11, until 3:00 PM on Thursday, November 14. During this period, motorists are advised to factor in additional travel time due to anticipated backups and delays. As with all construction operations, the schedule is subject to change based on weather conditions.

The new pedestrian bridge is intended to provide a safer crossing point for students and residents, reducing the risk of pedestrian-related incidents and improving overall traffic flow in the area. This development forms part of a broader effort to upgrade and modernize local infrastructure, fostering a more secure and efficient environment for all commuters.
