Lanes Closing On Interstate 76 Overnight This Week

PHILADELPHIA — Lanes are closing on Interstate 76 in both directions this week for barrier installation, PennDOT said.

The overnight closures will be in effect from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. the next morning, Wednesday through Friday.

PennDOT said the affected portion of highway is 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.
