Operations in Montgomery County

7/6/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Overnight lane closures are scheduled on eastbound and westbound Interstate
76
from just west of the U.S. 202 Interchange to U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in Upper

Merion Township, West Conshohocken Borough and Lower Merion Township,
Montgomery County, for milling and concrete patching operations as part of
a
major improvement project to repair and resurface 12.5 miles of the
expressway,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Sunday, July 9, and Monday, July 10, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following
morning, lane restrictions are scheduled on westbound I-76 between U.S. 1
(City
Avenue) and Interstate 476;
• Tuesday, July 11, through Thursday, July 13, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the
following morning, lane restrictions are scheduled on eastbound and
westbound
I-76 from just west of the U.S. 202 Interchange to U.S. 1 (City Avenue);
and
• Friday, July 14, and Saturday, July 15, from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM the
following
morning, lane restrictions are scheduled on eastbound and westbound I-76
from
just west of the U.S. 202 Interchange to U.S. 1 (City Avenue).

All scheduled activities are weather dependent. Motorists are advised to
use an
alternate route or allow extra time when traveling on I-76 in the work
areas
because backups and delays will occur.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill, overlay and rehabilitate

existing pavement; perform base repairs; install new guide rail; repair or
replace damaged traffic signs, two overhead sign structures and numerous
expansion joints on three structures; and install rumble strips,
delineators
and new mileage markers along the four-lane section of I-76.

The resurfacing of mainline I-76 in Montgomery County is scheduled to be
completed in late October, while work on the entire project will finish in
summer 2018.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Chester County is the general contractor on
the
$21,150,734 project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
