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!

Germantown Avenue for the week of Nov 5
Saturday, Nov. 3 will see crews continuing to install high pressure gas lines from Cresheim Valley Drive to the Trolley Car Diner and to install a water main from Roumfort Road to Gowen Avenue. The east sidewalk is closed due to this work. There is no work planned for Sunday.
The night work on the west side between Allens Lane and Nippon Street (across from the chapel) will continue next week between 9 pm and 7 am. This work is scheduled to be completed by Friday, November 9th. Please note that businesses in that area continue to be open during their scheduled hours.
In addition, there will be sawcutting of the trolley tracks at night starting Monday of next week, starting at Roumfort Road and moving up to Gowen Avenue. Staggered lane traffic will be in effect at night when this work is going on. Please note that Brewer's Outlet and Cresheim Cottage Cafe will continue to be accessible as this work reaches Gowen Avenue.
Traffic will continue to be tied up around the intersection with Cresheim Valley Road as Philadelphia Gas Works comes in to tie into the newly-installed high pressure line. This aspect of the work should be completed by the 9th.
The tree work is almost complete, with just some trimming around the Lutheran Seminary.
The paving over of the west side curb line near the Trolley Car Diner and New Covenant Campus will now be done after the gas main work is completed. Entrances to the Trolley Car Diner and New Covenant will remain open at all times.
