Germantown Ave Construction through 5/31

Construction has moved to the next closure phase, south of the Trolley Car Diner, and portions of the work will reach to north of Gowen Avenue. Driving routes to the LTSP campus remain unchanged, see www.Ltsp.edu/germantownave for alternate routes to LTSP from different directions. Here's the latest information from PennDOT and West Mt. Airy Neighbors:

CLOSURE UPDATE
New Covenant Church and Trolley Car Diner traffic are being routed from Cresheim Valley Drive. Thus, both the Trolley Car Diner and New Covenant will be accessible from Chestnut Hill. There is walking access through the construction area, making the Diner and Chestnut Hill accessible from LTSP and Mt. Airy along Germantown Avenue by foot.

The next closure is from the New Covenant Church driveway south to just before McPherson, including the intersection of Roumfort Road. The contract calls for this closure to last for 8 weeks.

WORK OUTSIDE THE CLOSURES:
For the next two weeks, traffic will be moved to the west curbline as work continues outside the closure on the east side of Germantown Avenue down to Gowen Avenue.

Also, there will be continued work on the old stone bridge just south of the intersection of Germantown Avenue with Cresheim Valley Road, as well as on the fountain. This work will not affect traffic.
