Manayunk Avenue Resurfacing Postponed One Week

This week’s rainy weather forecast has prompted the Philadelphia Streets Department to reschedule the start of a resurfacing project for Manayunk Avenue from Ridge to Roxborough avenues.

The project, originally slated to begin April 6, has been moved to April 13. The resurfacing effort will be completed in three separate phases – milling, adjusting of manhole covers and resetting of utility boxes, and final paving – which will take place in separate activities over the course of the following two weeks.

Operations for the milling work will be performed during the overnight hours of April 13 and 14 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Temporary full street closures and parking restrictions are expected during evening hours.

Work for adjusting manhole covers and resetting utility boxes will be scheduled during the day between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. and is expected to last approximately one week, according to the Streets Department.

Finallly, paving operations will be performed during the overnight hours the week of April 20 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.

To complete the work, residents should expect parking restrictions. Temporary “No Parking” signs will be posted in advance of each scheduled activity. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling around the work areas.

This work is being completed by James J. Anderson Construction Co., Inc., and is part of the City Wide Resurfacing 103B project. The project is being financed with federal and city funding.
