St. Georges -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Philadelphia District and its contractor are continuing work to replace the concrete deck overlay on the Senator William V. Roth, Jr. Bridge (SR 1). Lane restrictions will be in place periodically over several months. Traffic patterns will be altered from May 25-June 1.
On May 25-26, the contractor is planning to close two northbound lanes overnight (9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.) and then close two southbound lanes overnight (10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) on May 31 and June 1.
