The restrictions will be in place Mondays through Fridays, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for utility improvements. St. Joseph's University is completing this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.
PennDOT advises motorists to allow extra time while traveling through the work area due to backups and delays.
St. Joseph's University finalized its merger with University of the Sciences in June, and students moved into campus last month.
Along with the merger and utility improvements, St. Joseph's is working on installing a pedestrian underpass that travels beneath City Avenue as part of its Campus Master Plan. According to the construction schedule, construction will occur from November 2022 through July 2023. PennDOT has contributed $6 million to the pedestrian underpass project.
