Interstate 76 Lanes Closing Overnight For Barrier Work In Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA — Interstate 76 will have lane closures overnight Wednesday through Friday for barrier installation work, according to PennDOT.

Lanes will close on east and westbound Interstate 76 from 9 p.m. to 4 p.m. the next morning, Wednesday through Friday.

The closures will be in place on sections of eastbound and westbound I-76 between Girard Avenue (Exit 342) and the U.S. 1 North Roosevelt Boulevard (Exit 340B) interchanges.

The work is part of a $36.8 million project to resurface and repair nearly five miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and 23 bridges from U.S. 1 South (City Avenue) to Interstate 676 (Vine Street Expressway) in Philadelphia.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays may occur.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
