In Spring/Summer 2025, PRT’s contractor will complete roadway restoration on Sixth Avenue between Smithfield Street and William Penn Place. 

Last year, the contractor relocated water and drainage infrastructure, installed a new expanded sidewalk, new curb and accessible ramps. 

Intersections improvements include new traffic signals and crosswalks, accessible pedestrian signals, push button audible signals and illuminated countdown sings.

While this location is not one of the PRTX station locations, the new infrastructure improves safety and accessibility for everyone.
