PHILADELPHIA - An update to the work schedule for the Lincoln Drive

roadway improvements and the installation of impact attenuators,

encouraged to use alternative routes such as Walnut Lane and
Schoolhouse Lane during this time frame. Detour routes will not be
posted for the duration of the closure. Should the work be completed
sooner, the roadway restrictions will be lifted accordingly.

Weekday, overnight closures are scheduled for the next two weeks
beginning Monday, May 6th to allow the contractor to perform milling
and paving operations as well as install new guide rail along the
corridor. The overnight closures will between Wissahickon and Wayne
Avenues from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am, Monday through Thursday nights.

These temporary closures will allow Streets Department employees and
its contractors to safely access and assess multiple areas of the
roadway. This work has been scheduled on Saturday and evening hours to
provide the best protection for employees, expedite repairs and
minimize the disruption to motorists.


The scheduled timeline is heavily dependent upon the weather. For the
duration of the work, Streets Department crews will make every effort
to minimize the inconvenience to affected drivers, bicyclists, and
pedestrians.  The Streets Department thanks residents in advance for
their patience and cooperation.
