PennDOT will be painting a bus lane along Market Street, between 4th and Juniper streets, on Monday evening. The agency warns drivers that there could be some traffic delays in the area due to the effort.
Red bus-only lanes are coming to Market Street this week as part of a PennDOT project intended to repair and resurface more than 40 miles of roadway throughout the city.
From 8 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. on Tuesday, PennDOT will be closing lanes along Market Street in order to paint a bus lane along the roadway between Juniper and 4th streets.
Officials with PennDOT, the agency that has partnered with SEPTA and the City of Philadelphia in order to conduct this project, said motorists should expect delays as workers will close lanes in both directions on Market Street while the painting process is underway.
Along with these bus lanes, as part of an ongoing $10 million project, workers will resurface 14 state highways throughout the city, as well.
