Lane Restrictions Scheduled on Aramingo Avenue Next Week in Philadelphia
for Reconstruction

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that lane restrictions are scheduled on Aramingo Avenue in Philadelphia for roadway construction.

The work schedule is:

• Monday through Friday (July 12-16) – Northbound Aramingo Avenue will be closed between Westmoreland Street and Lehigh Avenue for excavation and base repair. Motorists on northbound Aramingo Avenue will be detoured over Richmond Street and Castor Avenue. Trucks will be detoured over Interstate 95 to
the Aramingo Avenue exit.

• Monday through Friday (July 12-16) – One lane will be closed on Aramingo Avenue between Somerset Street and Castor Avenue for electrical conduit installation from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Crews are working in two-block sections of northbound Aramingo Avenue between Lehigh Avenue and Westmoreland Street over the next three months to minimize the impact to on-street parking.

Parking along Aramingo Avenue is being restricted within the two-block section under construction. Curbside parking along Aramingo Avenue is available adjacent to the southbound travel lane and back-in angle parking is available along northbound Aramingo Avenue outside the closure areas.

This work is part of PennDOT’s $11.2 million project to improve Aramingo Avenue between Lehigh Avenue and Harbison Avenue and Harbison Avenue between Van Kirk Street and Route 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard).
