I noticed that on SB US 1 and 13 along Roosevelt Blvd at the split where both routes head separate alignments the old button copied overheads has been replaced with reflective panels on pipe gantries.

However Broad Street is still not featured with PA 611 on the Exit to Wingohocking Street.  Talk about your carbon copied signs. Then again is US 13 acknowledged on PA 611 at Roosevelt Blvd in either direction.  Either PennDOT or the city has a lot to learn about signing routes and joined many other cities with Route trailblazing.
Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it.

I just saw a story in CBS Philadelphia about that: https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/south-philadelphia-penndot-investment-sports-complex-today/. Better access to arenas and stadiums are beneficial considering how many sports fans there are in the world (my favorite sports are basketball and American football).

Hopefully it better times the lights on Broad heading for I-95 but there is still a bottleneck on the ramp to I-95 SB because it narrows to one lane.

Technically, it'll only provide better access *away* from the arena, as they're building a new onramp to I-76 West.

When it comes to traffic at sporting events, the traffic flow at the end of the game is the more important issue to address as everyone is leaving at the same time. The arrival of fans is more staggered so building road infrastructure to get them there is less pressing.

And if the '76ers and Eagles move out of the sports complex would all of this roadwork be worth it then?

(For PA 291) PennDOT - District 6 News: Bridge Construction Scheduled to Close Route 291 (Industrial Highway) in Tinicum Township, Philadelphia

QuoteKing of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge construction will occur in August on Route 291 (Industrial Highway) under a $26.5 million project to replace the twin bridges that carry the highway over Conrail tracks in Tinicum Township, Delaware County.

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

Monday, August 17, through Friday, August 21, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, westbound Route 291 (Industrial Highway) will be closed and detoured between Scott Way/Bartram Avenue and Route 420 (Wanamaker Avenue). Drivers will be directed to use Scott Way/Bartram Avenue, Interstate 95, and Route 420 (Wanamaker Avenue).
Monday, August 17, through Friday, August 21, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure with flagging will be in place on eastbound Route 291 (Industrial Highway) between Scott Way/Bartram Avenue and Route 420 (Wanamaker Avenue).
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near or through the work area or along the detour route because backups and delays may occur.

Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will replace the deteriorating bridge with a new, two-span, steel plate girder structure. The new structure, with a width of 73 feet 4.5 inches, will be nine feet wider than the existing bridge. It will carry two 12-foot lanes in each direction and eight-foot shoulders. The new bridge will accommodate a future multiuse trail with a protective concrete barrier on the eastbound side.

Additional improvements include repairs to the roadway approaches and installation of new roadway signs, pavement markings, guiderail, and traffic signals at the Bartram Avenue/Scott Way Intersection.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Pennsylvania, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.

For more information, visit the Route 291 (Governor Printz Boulevard) Bridge Replacement project webpage.

Travelers can check conditions on major roads by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
