Germantown Avenue construction continues mainly to the north of the LTSP campus, including lane changes and temporary traffic stoppages at the intersection of Germantown and Gowen Avenues. The intersection remains open to traffic, and the closure remains on Germantown Avenue between Gowen Avenue and Roumfort Road. Visit Ltsp.edu/germantownave for alternate routes and directions to the LTSP campus. Here's the latest from PennDOT and West Mt. Airy Neighbors:
WORK INSIDE CLOSURE:
Weekend work: There will be work inside the closure this Saturday, 7/26.
Pedestrian Access around the closure: The week of 7/28, there will be sidewalk laid on the west (New Covenant Church/Cresheim Cottage Cafe) side of the closure. This could result in pedestrian access through the closure being rerouted somewhat. However, there will be no loss of pedestrian access. Please note that Cresheim Cottage Cafe will remain open throughout this period, although access might be changed a bit as the sidewalk directly outside is rebuilt.
HEAD'S UP FOR FUTURE WORK:
In early September, major work will commence in the Germantown Avenue/Mermaid Lane area at the northernmost part of the project (in lower Chestnut Hill). In addition, the construction project will move more fully into the Gowen Avenue intersection soon after that. In both cases, PennDOT and the construction company are working to reduce the impact on
motorists and pedestrians. Details will be provided as they become available.
SAVE THE AVENUE COALITION: Remember that all businesses remain open during the
construction project.Visit the Save the Avenue website, www.savetheave.org, for
