Roosevelt Boulevard Improvement Projects



Program Overview

PennDOT, the City of Philadelphia, and SEPTA are partnering to implement a comprehensive, multi-phase US 1 Improvement Program covering Roosevelt Boulevard from Broad Street (Route 611) to Old Lincoln Highway in Bensalem Bucks County.  The efforts include both near and long-term improvements to improve safety, accessibility, and travel time reliability.  The links below are to some of the various efforts being undertaken to advance the vision for the corridor.

The purpose of the project is to construct improvements to five crossovers (roadway connections between the inner and outer lanes) to increase safety along U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) between Route 73 (Cottman Avenue) and Red Lion Road.  These locations have been identified as a high priority for improvements and include the crossovers near:
  • Revere/Faunce Street (Location 1), 
  • Strahle Street (Location 2), 
  • Winchester Avenue (Location 3), 
  • Michener Street (Location 4), and 
  • Fulmer Street (Location 5).

​The Route for Change Program vision intends to transform the Roosevelt Boulevard by enhancing safety, accessibility, and reliability along Roosevelt Boulevard, for all users including pedestrians by supporting local and regional travel needs, changing land use patterns, enhancing connectivity and mobility to local communities, while promoting economic opportunities. Roadway configuration changes and implementation of high-quality transit service (and potential transit station locations) along Roosevelt Boulevard are critical improvement components necessary to directly address the purpose and need of the long-term project.

This project will include the design of Business Access and Transit (BAT) lanes, bicycle and pedestrian safety improvements, corridor access management, intersection and roadway modifications, pavement marking, traffic control, and traffic signal modifications along Roosevelt Boulevard.
