PECO has now completed the installation of the new gas mains in Jenkintown Borough on the Acceleration Gas Infrastructure Modernization Project (AGIMP) project.

Jenkintown Borough has now been notified by PECO’s subcontractor Kehoe Construction, Inc., that Runnymede Avenue, between West Avenue and Cloverly Avenue, will be closed to through traffic beginning on Wednesday, January 6th until Friday, January 8th from 7:00 AM until 3:00 PM. This closure will allow for the contractors to safely perform paving restoration of the trenches where the new gas lines were installed on Runnymede Avenue and is expected to be completed this week. The final paving of the roadway will take place in the spring time when the weather allows. The road will be repaved from curb to curb the entire length. The paving restoration and final paving costs are considered part of this project and are covered by PECO.

The trench restoration on the remaining roads (Florence, Hillside and Cheltena Avenues) as well as the State road (Walnut Street) will be completed over the next two to three weeks. The final paving of these roads will take place in the spring time as well.

Residents will continue to have access to their properties during this process.  If you do not reside on this road please take another route during these times to avoid disruption of your travels.
