Philadelphia streets are getting ready to rumble as city crews begin to dig up and repave old roads.
Starting Aug. 12, the Philadelphia Department of Streets will re-surface multiple streets in East Mount Airy, West Oak Lane, and parts of Fairmount Park throughout the month.
Resurfacing and paving projects take between three and five weeks, consisting of removing the old top layer of asphalt road, prepping or replacing utility manholes, paving a new top layer of asphalt road, and installing markings, crosswalks, and repainting lanes. Exact times for completion vary depending on the street’s length and width.
Every year, the Streets Department mounts resurfacing efforts from early spring to late fall. Philadelphians can see live updates on paving projects throughout the city at streetsmartphl.phila.gov.

Move cars during street repaving in Philly
During a neighborhood’s re-surfacing, temporary “No Parking” restrictions will periodically go into effect. After the old top layer of road is removed, be ready for parking restrictions as crews begin to repave a new top layer of road.
Cars still parked on streets scheduled for repaving will be towed to a nearby street. Contact the local police district for the location of the car. The Inquirer has a guide on what to do in the case of a “courtesy tow.”
