City Announces Schedule for Street Resurfacing for Various Streets in the 1st and 2nd Highway Districts

Philadelphia, PALocal News

Philadelphia's Streets Commissioner Kristin Del Rossi has outlined a schedule for street resurfacing in the 1st and 2nd Highway Districts, beginning from March 31 through April 4. The process will include milling the existing asphalt, adjusting manhole covers, and paving, conducted in three distinct phases over the coming months. Daytime work will occur from 7 AM to 4 PM, with temporary flagging to ensure traffic remains manageable. Residents are urged to observe “No Parking” signs and relocate vehicles to prevent towing during construction. The Department of Streets has emphasized the importance of planning alternative routes to avoid delays and minimize inconvenience.

James J. Anderson Construction Co. will handle the initial milling and manhole adjustments, while the city will complete the paving. This infrastructure improvement aims to enhance road safety and usability for all residents.
