The project is part of PennDOT’s larger program to repair and pave over 200 miles of state roadway in the Philadelphia region this year.
The high-friction surface treatment is designed to increase traction in both wet and dry conditions, according to the state transportation department.

PennDOT contractors will be overseeing the work.
The application of the treatment is dependent on weather conditions.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when commuting through the work zone due to expected delays and backups.
