During the closure, motorists will be directed to continue on I-76 West to Mall Boulevard, turn right on Mall Boulevard, left on North Gulph Road and right on U.S. 202 South to access U.S. 422 West.

Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
