An entrance to the underpass on Cameron Street
The pedestrian underpass near the state Farm Show Complex has been reopened following extensive repair work.
On Tuesday, PennDOT announced it had reopened the underpass, which goes under Cameron Street. The underpass had been closed since February due to concrete deterioration on the ceiling of the walkway.
The work was performed as part of an already planned pavement preservation project that PennDOT is performing on Cameron Street. The total $8.3 million project, which includes making repairs and upgrades to the road, intersections, traffic signals, drainage and other areas, is expected to be completed by September 2026.
This project consists of concrete patching, diamond grinding, milling, asphalt overlay, traffic signal and intersection improvements, minor drainage repairs and other construction on Cameron Street from Paxton Street to Elmerton Avenue/Wildwood Park Drive, and on Arsenal Boulevard from Maclay Street to 15th Street.
In addition to the pedestrian underpass, the left turn lane from westbound Cameron Street into the Farm Show Complex at Farm Show Drive is also open, PennDOT said. This turn lane was closed in February because it was located directly above an area of deteriorated concrete inside the tunnel.
