Germantown Av Construction Update - 3/8-3/15

Construction work continues with the closure at Germantown Avenue and Cresheim Valley Drive, and utility work elsewhere south on Germantown Avenue. Those attending the Preaching with Power events on campus on Tuesday, 3/12, Wednesday, 3/13, and Friday, 3/15, will find all campus parking accessible, and only drivers approaching from the north using Germantown Avenue (or heading back north) need to worry about detouring. 

Here's a detour hint, if you're coming down Germantown Avenue through Chestnut Hill - as long as Cresheim Valley Drive is open (see below) - don't take the detour at Willow Grove Avenue, but continue down the hill and turn left onto Cresheim Valley Drive at the construction closure. Take Cresheim Valley Drive to Stenton Avenue, and turn right on Stenton. This will avoid the typical back up on Stenton where it narrows to one lane southbound. For recommended alternate routes to campus, see www.Ltsp.edu/germantownave.

Here's the report for the coming week:

CLOSURE: GERMANTOWN AVENUE AT CRESHEIM VALLEY DRIVE
The current closure will be extended for a few weeks, likely until mid-April. At the same time, Cresheim Valley Drive will be closed for three weeks beginning in late March. We will provide you with more accurate closure dates, as well as a detour plan, as those pieces of information become available.

WORK OUTSIDE CLOSURE
Work outside the closure will proceed more or less in the way that it has in the last week - mostly utility work, with the addition of the closure of the intersection of Roumfort Road, possibly as early as Monday. This closure will not affect Germantown Avenue at Roumfort, but rather Roumfort itself. There may be some lane changes around the seminary to move traffic around work areas.
