Germantown Av. - mid-Feb. to mid-March

Most of the construction work is behind the closure from Cresheim Valley Drive south to the Trolley Car Diner area, with all access to businesses and residents being open from the south. Updates will be posted as this work ends, some time mid-March. Download information about the closure: www.wman.net/germantownave14b.pdf. You'll find directions and alternate routes to the LTSP campus at www.Ltsp.edu/germantownave.

In addition to work behind the closure, there will be continued installation of storm drains on the east side of Germantown Avenue from the closure south. Near Lutheran Seminary, there will be low pressure gas lines installed, and Philadelphia Gas Works is working between Roumfort and Gowen. Some of the work will require periodic lane closures but there will be no detours except for the closure area at Cresheim Valley Drive.

There will be weekend work, possibly two shifts on both Saturday and Sunday.

Remember that all Germantown Avenue businesses are open during construction. Visit the Save the Avenue website, www.savetheave.org, for updated information on businesses and promotions. For those with young children, or who are young at heart, the windows of Trolley Car Diner are a great place to observe the heavy equipment at work!
