22nd Street Ramp to I-676 West to Reopen Friday Morning in Philadelphia

7/18/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The 22nd Street ramp to westbound Interstate 676 in Center City
Philadelphia is
scheduled to reopen Friday morning, July 21, following reconstruction of
the
upper end of the ramp, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT)
announced today.

Crews will reopen the ramp as part of a traffic shift on the 22nd Street
bridge
over I-676 that will take place from 10:00 PM Thursday, June 20, to 5:00 AM

Friday, June 21. The shift will move two lanes of northbound 22nd Street
to
the reconstructed left (west) side of the overpass and pedestrians to the
new
sidewalk on the west side of the bridge.

The ramp has been closed since June 12 for curb construction and
resurfacing to
connect the ramp with the new 22nd Street bridge.

Work on the bridge and ramp are part of PennDOT's $64.8 million project to
rebuild seven deteriorated spans over I-676 between 18th Street and 22nd
Street.

Construction of the new 22nd Street bridge as well as reconstruction of the

21st Street and 18th Street bridges over I-676 are scheduled to be
completed in
fall 2018, a year ahead of schedule.

PennDOT has finished construction on the new 20th Street and 19th Street
bridges as well as two new pedestrian bridges between 18th Street and 20th
Street, which includes significant improvements and expansion of the public

space at both pedestrian crossings.

Buckley & Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
