Construction work continues north of the seminary campus, with detours remaining the same and no work directly effecting campus. See www.Ltsp.edu/germantownave for alternate routes to LTSP. Here's the latest for this week:
GERMANTOWN AVENUE CLOSURE:
The closure is in the area south of the Trolley Car Diner. Access to the diner and New Covenant campus is from the north (Chestnut Hill). This work is scheduled to continue for the next 7 weeks.
WORK OUTSIDE THE CLOSURE:
Until June 21 or thereabouts, there will be sewer work outside the closure from McPherson Street to Gowen Avenue. This work will take place behind the existing barrier. 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. PECO will be doing work on the west sidewalk from Allens Lane to Nippon Street (in the area of Wawa and the bank) for a few days this week. This may require lane shifts.

Work looks to become more serious and disruptive starting this week. Items most effecting LTSP are in bold.
PARKING ON GERMANTOWN AVENUE: Tree work will continue near the Seminary, and there will be no parking signs in the area between Allens Lane and Gowen Avenue. There are parking restrictions between Roumfort and McPherson -- see below. In addition, the work from Nippon to Allens Lane (described below) will include no parking signs in that area for night-time parking. Please read specific no parking signs for detailed information about when those restrictions go into effect.
WORK PLANNED FOR THE WEEK OF OCTOBER 29TH AND FOLLOWING:
Crews will continue work on the high pressure gas main from the SEPTA turnaround at Cresheim Valley Drive to the Trolley Car Diner;
Installation of low pressure gas line from Winston Road to Mermaid Lane, with lane shifts at intersections;

The paving over of the west side curb line near the Trolley Car Diner and New Covenant Campus has been postponed up to now, but will be done at some point in the next two weeks. After that, a traffic barrier will be added, segmenting two traffic lanes on the west side of Germantown Avenue. Work will be continuous on the east side. As of January 15, 2008, sections of Germantown Avenue will be closed completely.
