King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that pavement marking installation is planned on Kelly Drive in Philadelphia under a $7.5 million project to install safety enhancements to improve travel and reduce high-speed crashes across the five-county Philadelphia region.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, December 9, through Friday, December 13, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a periodic lane closure is scheduled on Kelly Drive in both directions between Strawberry Mansion Bridge Drive and West Hunting Park Avenue.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Kuharchik Construction, Inc. of Exeter, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways including color-coded winter conditions, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
