U.S. 1 South (Roosevelt Expressway) Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Construction in Philadelphia

King of Prussia – Southbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) will be reduced to a single lane on the Wayne Junction Viaduct over SEPTA tracks and the Nicetown neighborhood in North Philadelphia on Monday, August 23, through Friday, August 27, from 6:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

In addition, periodic lane closures may occur on northbound U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Expressway) on Monday, August 23, through Friday, August 27, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for various construction activities on the viaduct.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area or use an alternate route because significant backups are expected. This operation is weather dependent.

Current work to rehabilitate and re-deck the southbound outer lane and shoulder of the mile-long viaduct will continue until spring 2022 before construction shifts to the northbound side of the structure. The entire project is expected to be completed in spring 2024.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles 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.

Information about infrastructure in District 6 including completed work and significant projects, is available at www.penndot.gov/D6Results. Find PennDOT’s planned and active construction projects at www.projects.penndot.gov.
