Construction on Interstate 476 in Conshohocken and Plymouth will continue this week, according to a release from PennDOT.

Nighttime lane closures and occasional traffic stoppages are planned for both lanes of the Blue Route between Wednesday and Sunday, according to the release. Additionally, one northbound and one southbound lane will be closed Wednesday night from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. Thursday.

The following roadwork and traffic adjustments are expected for the week:
