Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that PECO Energy will be performing utility construction on a section of Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia, beginning Monday, January 26.

Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Local access will be maintained at all times. Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route because backups and delays will occur.
