Nighttime lane closures are scheduled in the coming weeks for Lansdowne in Delaware County from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM, for milling and resurfacing, as part of a project to repair and resurface Lansdowne Avenue between Garrett Road and Cobbs Creek Parkway. This is a State Project of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling the existing roadway surface and repaving the state highways with new asphalt. The new pavement will seal the roadways and provide motorists with a smoother riding surface.
Highway Materials, of Flourtown, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent state funds.
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signage and relevant training.
