PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has disclosed that construction work will persist on Route 611 (Broad Street) in Philadelphia as part of a comprehensive safety improvement initiative. This project is designed to enhance road safety through the installation of new lighting and signage, ensuring a safer travel experience for motorists.
Commencing on Monday, November 4, and continuing through Wednesday, July 23, 2025, southbound lanes on Route 611 between Pattison Avenue and League Island Boulevard will experience periodic closures during weekdays. These closures will occur from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, allowing crews to perform necessary work without disrupting peak traffic times excessively.
Motorists traveling through the affected area should anticipate potential delays and are advised to plan for additional travel time. The construction is expected to impact traffic flow significantly, especially during the midday hours, when lane restrictions are in place. PennDOT encourages drivers to remain patient and exercise caution while navigating through the work zone.
The progress of these improvements is dependent on favorable weather conditions, and schedules may be adjusted in response to inclement weather. Such changes underscore the importance of staying informed about current road conditions and potential schedule alterations. Motorists are urged to use resources like the MyChesCo Traffic Center, which provides real-time updates and alerts to help plan their journeys more effectively.
