One Lane Of I-76 To Be Closed Next Week, Significant Delays Expected

By JASON LADAY

Delays are expected on I-76 eastbound in Upper Merion Thursday as the right lane is scheduled to be closed at the US-202 interchange from 9 a.m. to noon, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

The closure has been scheduled so officials can conduct a bridge inspection.

Motorists are advised to allow more time for travel on I-76 east during this time as slowdowns will occur.

The inspections, which are weather dependent, are part of PennDOT’s program to inspect state bridges at least once every two years.
