Infrastructure

Beginning the week of June 8, 2026, Aqua Pennsylvania will begin a water main replacement project in portions of Yeadon and Darby Boroughs. Work includes replacing 3,450 feet of aging water main along Cedar Ave, Norma Rd, Alfred Ave, Coventry Ave, Glen Cove Rd, Londonderry Ln, and Shetland Rd.

The project is part of Aqua Pennsylvania’s infrastructure improvement program aimed at improving water service reliability, reducing water main breaks and discolored water, and improving water flow.

Construction is expected weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Residents will continue to have property access, though temporary traffic and access adjustments may occur as work zones shift. Emergency vehicles, mail delivery, school buses, and trash collection will be accommodated throughout construction.

Trenches will be covered with temporary blacktop at the end of each workday with full restoration anticipated Fall 2026. Aqua will notify customers ahead of any planned water service interruptions and will provide 24-hour advance notice for any scheduled interruption greater than 30 minutes.

For more information, please see the complete statement from Aqua Pennsylvania below. If you have any questions about this project, please call Aqua at 610-328-7713.

Recently, some Yeadon residents may have received a notice from PECO informing them of an upcoming infrastructure project taking place in parts of Yeadon Borough

PECO will begin a natural gas infrastructure upgrade project in the parts of Yeadon, starting on or after the week of April 27, 2026. Work will take place along Rundale Ave (Duncan Ave to MacDade Blvd) and Bell Ave (Rundale Ave to MacDade Blvd), Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and is expected to be completed by June 2026.

The project includes installing new underground gas lines to improve safety, durability, and service reliability. Some temporary impacts to traffic, sidewalks, and properties may occur, but all areas will be restored after construction.

To complete connections to the new gas main, PECO or its contractor will need to briefly shut off gas service and access properties to relight appliances the same day. This may also include relocating indoor gas meters to an exterior location, as required for safety by state regulations. Residents should ensure access to gas equipment when notified and are asked to mark any privately owned underground utilities (such as sprinkler systems, dog fences, or private lines) before work begins.

For questions or to coordinate access, residents can contact Utility Line Services at 215-430-1503 or PECO Work Inquiries at 610-832-6420 (Email: GasWorkInquiries@exeloncorp.com).

Recently, some Yeadon residents may have received a notice from PECO informing them of an upcoming infrastructure project taking place in parts of Yeadon Borough and Upper Darby Township.

This $3.6 million project will include upgrading and installing new, innovative equipment, including new poles and tree-resistant aerial wires. Advanced devices will be installed that can stop the flow of electricity if a problem occurs and automatically restore electricity where possible.

During the next few weeks, qualified PECO contractor Davey Resource Group will be in the area surveying the necessary tree work. If there is required tree work on your property, PECO will contact you directly to review the plan in-person.

Tree work is expected to begin in October 2025, with the entire project is expected to be completed in Q2 2026.

The newly completed Yeadon Borough Roadway Safety Action Plan outlines strategies and commitments to eliminate traffic-related fatalities and injuries through proposed safety initiatives and a program of community engagement.

The plan, created by a committee of public officials along public input from borough council meetings and a borough-wide pedestrian survey, identifies existing guidance and policies to prevent traffic related fatalities and injuries. In addition, it evaluates crash data throughout Yeadon Borough and proposes countermeasures to improve the safety of Borough roadways and eliminate all traffic related injuries and fatalities.
