10/26/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Overnight lane closures are scheduled next week on eastbound and westbound
Interstate 76 from just west of U.S. 202 to U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in Upper
Merion Township, West Conshohocken Borough and Lower Merion Township,
Montgomery County, for repair operations and final pavement marking
installations as part of a project to resurface 12.5 miles of the
expressway,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:
• Monday, October 30, through Thursday, November 2, from 9:00 PM to 5:00
AM,
lane closures are scheduled in both directions on I-76 from just west of
U.S.
202 to U.S. 1 (City Avenue); and
• Friday, November 3, and Saturday, November 4, from 9:00 PM to 9:00 AM,
lane
closures are scheduled in both directions on I-76 from just west of U.S.
202 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 area

because backups and delays will occur.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling, overlaying and
rehabilitating existing pavement; performing base repairs; installing new
guide
rail; repairing or replacing damaged traffic signs, two overhead sign
structures and numerous expansion joints on three structures; and
installing
rumble strips, delineators and new mileage markers along the four-lane
section
of I-76. 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.
