U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) Lane Closure, Periodic Stoppages at Night Next Week for Viaduct Rehabilitation in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Single lane closures and periodic brief stoppages will be in place on northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) on Monday, February 14, from 9:00 PM and 5:00 AM the following morning for construction on the Wayne Junction Viaduct over SEPTA tracks and the Nicetown neighborhood in North Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
In addition, periodic lane closures also may be in place in the work area during the remainder of the week on:
- Southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway), Monday through Friday from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning; and
- Northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway), Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Current work to rehabilitate and re-deck the southbound outer lane and shoulder of the mile-long viaduct and repair the Fox Street overpass will continue until late February before construction shifts to the northbound side of the structure. The entire project is expected to be completed in spring 2024.
South State, Inc. of Bridgeton, N.J. is the general contractor on the $90.7 million project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
More project information is available at the U.S. 1 Viaduct Rehabilitation project website.
