Lanes Closing On Interstate 76 Overnight For 7 Days: PennDOT

PHILADELPHIA — Interstate 76 will have overnight lane closures for a week, according to PennDOT.

Roadway repair work will take place at night this weekend and next week under a $37.9 million project to resurface and repair nearly five miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and more than 20 bridges.

Below are details on the lane closures:

• Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. the following morning, single and double lane closures will be in place on sections of eastbound I-76 between the U.S. 1 South/City Avenue and I-676 interchanges for accelerated concrete patching.
• Monday through Thursday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on sections of eastbound and westbound I-76 between the Montgomery Drive and 30th Street Station interchanges for paving and concrete roadway repair.
• Tuesday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, the ramp from westbound I-76 to Girard Avenue will be closed and detoured for milling and bridge deck repair. Motorists will be directed to continue on westbound I-76, exit at Montgomery Drive and use the ramp to eastbound I-76 to access Girard Avenue.
• Tuesday from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, the ramp from Spring Garden Street to westbound I-76 will be closed and detoured for milling. Motorists will be directed to follow the posted detour route to access westbound I-76.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this contract, PennDOT’s contractor will mill and overlay I-76 pavement from U.S. 1 to I-676; perform concrete base, shoulder and barrier repair and replacement as needed; construct minor grade adjustments for existing inlets at select locations; replace damaged signs; install new pavement markings, delineators, and rumble strips; and perform bridge repairs.
