Protected Bike Lane Installallations Scheduled for S. 27th Street and South Street

PHILADELPHIA – Streets Department crews are scheduled to install permanent bicycle lane delineators on S. 27th Street between Lombard and South and on South Street between 22nd Street and 27th Street on Saturday, March 30th announced Streets Commissioner Carlton Williams. The new delineators look to establish a protected bike lane along both stretches of roadway. Temporary lane restrictions are expected between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. as the work is performed. The lane restrictions will impact the dedicated bicycle lane and vehicular travel lanes. Work is weather-permitting.

The temporary lane restrictions will allow Streets Department employees to safely install the delineators. All work should be completed with vehicular and bicycle traffic restored by 2:30 p.m. on Saturday.

This is a Complete Streets Project, designed to ensure safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. The Streets Department thanks citizens in advance for their patience and cooperation during this project.
