PHILADELPHIA – Several streets in Northwest Philadelphia are scheduled for street improvements with street closures and parking restrictions scheduled for the week of June 1st, announced Streets Commissioner Carlton Williams. The work schedule includes temporary, full street closures and parking restrictions. Weather may alter the work schedule. Residents can stay updated on the progress of their street using the PavePHL tool, the City’s web map paving tracker which allows residents to go online and view the progress of a street scheduled for paving. It is one of several components housed on the StreetSmartPHL.phila.gov platform which allows the Streets Department to communicate to the public about some of its most prominent and visible core services – including paving and permitting. Future functions of the site will include trackers for snow plowing and trash and recycling collections.
This street improvement work is related to the initial phase of the City’s street resurfacing program. Work will be completed in separate phases – milling, adjusting of manhole covers, and resetting of utility boxes – which will take place in separate activities over the course of the week.
Streets Scheduled for Milling
Operations for the milling work will be performed during the day hours, between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Milling of each street segment is expected to last approximately 1-2 days per street. Work for adjusting of manhole covers and resetting of utility boxes will be scheduled during the day, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and is expected to last approximately 1-2 days per street. The entire paving process takes three to five weeks. Schedule of operations for final resurfacing on these streets will be announced via a separate press release. Streets scheduled for milling this week include:

To complete the work, residents should expect parking restrictions. Temporary ‘No Parking’ signs will be posted in advance of each scheduled activity. Residents are urged to move their cars from the work sites when temporary ‘No Parking’ signs are posted, so that vehicles are not towed. In the event a car is towed, please contact your local Police District to determine its location. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling around the work areas.
While the Streets Department will make every effort to minimize disruption to traffic, residents are urged to plan ahead and use alternative routes when traveling in these areas. The Streets Department thanks residents in advance for their patience and cooperation as we work to improve city streets.
