I-76 West Ramp to Conshohocken (Route 23) to Close Overnights This Week for
Repair and Resurfacing Operations

10/17/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The ramp from westbound Interstate 76 to Conshohocken (Route 23) is
scheduled
to close on Tuesday, October 17, through Thursday, October 19, from 11:00
PM to
5:00 AM the following morning, for concrete repairs, milling and paving
operations as part of a project to repair and resurface 12.5 miles of the
expressway 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, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced
today.

During the overnight ramp closure, motorists will be directed to continue
west
on I-76, exit at Gulph Mills (Route 320), and turn right onto Trinity
Road/Holstein Road/Swedeland Road to access eastbound Route 23.

All scheduled activities are weather dependent. Motorists are advised to
allow
extra time when traveling near 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 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.
