PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced that construction work on the St. Joseph’s University pedestrian bridge will continue next week. The bridge, located on U.S. 1 (City Avenue), spans Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County.
Work on the bridge is scheduled to occur in two phases. From Monday, December 11, to Tuesday, December 12, a 24/7 left lane closure will be in effect on U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in both directions between Cardinal Avenue and Lapsley Lane. Then, from Wednesday, December 13, to Thursday, December 21, there will be a 24/7 traffic shift on southbound U.S. 1 (City Avenue) between Cardinal Avenue and Lapsley Lane.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the construction area, as backups and delays are expected. All scheduled construction activities are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
This improvement project is being completed by St. Joseph’s University under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit. The project aims to enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians crossing the busy thoroughfare. As a result, the university’s campus will be more seamlessly integrated, improving the experience for students, faculty, and visitors alike.
