PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced critical line striping operations on the northbound lanes of U.S. 1, also known as the Roosevelt Expressway, as part of a comprehensive $107.2 million rehabilitation project. This initiative focuses on the Wayne Junction Viaduct, a vital structure extending over the SEPTA tracks and the Nicetown neighborhood, aimed at bolstering safety and improving traffic efficiency.
Scheduled for Monday, November 18, from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the operation will necessitate a right lane closure on the northbound Roosevelt Expressway between Germantown Avenue and 16th Street. This temporary closure is essential for completing the scheduled line striping, a crucial step in the broader rehabilitation project designed to extend the lifespan of the viaduct and support the smooth flow of traffic.
Motorists traveling through the work area are advised to anticipate potential delays and consider allocating additional travel time to accommodate any backups. The scheduled activities are contingent upon favorable weather conditions, with adjustments to the timeline possible if inclement weather occurs.
