I-76 Restrictions and Closures Overnight Next Week for Viaduct Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

I-76 Restrictions and Closures Overnight Next Week for Viaduct Construction
Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

11/30/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Eastbound Interstate 76 will be reduced to a single lane and then closed,
and
westbound I-76 will be reduced to a single lane overnight next week between
the
30th Street and South Street interchanges in Philadelphia for construction
on
the viaduct carrying Schuylkill Avenue over the expressway between Walnut
Street and Market Street, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
(PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, December 4, through Thursday, December 7, from 9:00 PM to 11:00
PM,
eastbound I-76 will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one between the Interstate
676
and South Street interchanges;

• Monday, December 4, through Thursday, December 7, from 11:00 PM to 5:00
AM
the following morning, eastbound I-76 will be closed between the I-676 and
South Street interchanges. During the overnight closure, eastbound I-76
traffic
will exit at 30th Street and follow 30th Street to Chestnut Street, then
left
on Chestnut Street and right on Schuylkill Avenue to access the ramp to
eastbound I-76 at Walnut Street; and

• Monday, December 4, through Thursday, December 7, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, westbound I-76 will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one
between
the 30th Street and I-676 interchanges.

The lane and ramp closures will allow crews to continue demolition of the
concrete deck and repair two sections of the Schuylkill Avenue viaduct.

Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow addition time for
travel on I-76 near the work areas because backups and delays will occur.
All
scheduled activities are weather dependent.

In addition, a new temporary traffic pattern will be put in place on
Chestnut
Street just east of the Schuylkill River beginning Monday, December 4. The
new
pattern will narrow the lane widths on Chestnut Street to 10 feet and shift
the
two travel lanes to the north from the east side of the river to 23rd
Street.
The south sidewalk on Chestnut Street also will be closed, and parking will
be
eliminated on the north side of Chestnut Street between the river and 23rd
Street.

Crews will work Monday, December 4 through Thursday, December 7, from 9:00
PM
to 5:00 AM the following morning to set up the new pattern and close the
south
sidewalk, periodically reducing Chestnut Street to a single lane between
the
river bridge and 23rd Street.

The new pattern on Chestnut Street will be in place for approximately 12
months
while crews rehabilitate the south side of the Chestnut Street arch bridge
over
24th Street.

24th Street also will be closed to motorists and pedestrians at the
Chestnut
Street overpass. Access to homes and business on the south side of Chestnut

Street will be maintained during construction.

The work is part of PennDOT's $103.6 million project to rehabilitate the
Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill River and eight other nearby
structures, including those carrying Schuylkill Avenue over I-76 between
Walnut
Street and Chestnut Street, and between Chestnut Street and Market Street.

In addition to repairing and repainting the steel superstructure and
replacing
the deck of the main bridge carrying Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River
and the two Schuylkill Avenue structures over I-76, the project also
includes:

• Rehabilitating two structures on the Interstate 76 on-and-off-ramps
between
Chestnut Street and Walnut Street;
• Resurfacing Chestnut Street from 31st Street to 30th Street, and from
24th
Street to 23rd Street;
• Constructing wider sidewalks and installing decorative barrier and
railings
on the Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue bridges;
• Rehabilitating a 900-foot section of the river wall structure between
I-76
and the Schuylkill River from Market Street and Walnut Street;
• Rehabilitating a 15-foot section of the retaining wall supporting the
Schuylkill River Trail under Chestnut Street;
• Installing new traffic signals, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
equipment, and street lighting along Chestnut Street between 31st Street
and
23rd Street;
• Replacing millennium lighting on Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River;
• Constructing a new trellis at the Chestnut Street Trailhead to the
Schuylkill
River Trail;
• Restriping pavement markings for a bicycle lane on Chestnut Street
between
34th Street and 22nd Street; and
• Installing a new clear acrylic barrier along Amtrak Northeast Corridor
tracks
located on the west side of Schuylkill Avenue West between Chestnut Street
and
Walnut Street.

The bridges on Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue West will be under
construction concurrently and will remain open for most of the project.
There
will be various lane and sidewalk restrictions during the three stages of
construction that will require shifts in travel lane and sidewalk
configurations.

Approximately midway through the project, a detour will be in place for
about
one year on Chestnut Street from Schuylkill Avenue West to 23rd Street for
the
rehabilitation of the structurally deficient bridge carrying Chestnut
Street
over the CSX rail lines.

The Schuylkill River Trail will be closed below Chestnut Street for
approximately three months over the winter of 2017-2018 for repairs.

In addition, the on-and-off-ramps at the I-76 Interchange between Chestnut
Street and Walnut Street will be restricted to a single lane of traffic
during
construction. There will also be nighttime and weekend full closures of the

ramps during certain construction operations.

The entire project is scheduled to finish in fall 2020.

Buckley & Company Inc., of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), state and local
police, Buckle Up PA, AAA Mid-Atlantic, and local safety partners held an
event
today at Temple University's Ambler Campus in Montgomery County to outline
regional enforcement efforts during the "Operation Safe Holiday"
mobilization
and to encourage safe driving through the holiday season.

Police discussed the use of sobriety checkpoints, roving patrols and
regular
traffic safety patrols to target motorists who are driving while under the
influence of drugs or alcohol. Pennsylvania State Police and hundreds of
municipal police departments statewide will participate in the "Operation
Safe
Holiday" campaign this year to increase traffic safety enforcement through
the
New Year's holiday.

PennDOT data indicates that the winter holiday season continues to be the
leading time period for traffic crashes. In 2016, there were 8,608 crashes
and
79 fatalities statewide during the Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year
travel
periods. Of those, 1,072 crashes and 27 fatalities were impaired-driving
related.

PennDOT encourages motorists to always plan ahead by either designating a
sober
driver or arranging for alternate transportation.

I-76 Closures and Lane Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

I-76 Closures and Lane Restrictions Overnight Next Week for Viaduct
Construction Near 30th Street in Philadelphia

11/21/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Interstate 76 East and West will be closed overnight on alternate nights
next
week and reduced to a single lane on other nights between the 30th Street
and
South Street interchanges in Philadelphia for construction on the viaduct
carrying Schuylkill Avenue over the expressway between Walnut Street and
Market
Street, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced
today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, November 27, and Tuesday, November 28, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, eastbound I-76 will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one
between
the Interstate 676 and South Street interchanges;

• Monday, November 27, and Tuesday, November 28, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, westbound I-76 will be closed between the 30th Street
and
I-676 interchanges. During the overnight closure, westbound I-76 traffic
will
be directed to use the ramp to 30th Street and continue across Schuylkill
Avenue to the ramp back to I-76 West at Market Street;

• Wednesday, November 29, and Thursday, November 30, from 9:00 PM to 5:00
AM
the following morning, westbound I-76 will be reduced from two-lanes-to-one

between the 30th Street and I-676 interchanges; and

• Wednesday, November 29, and Thursday, November 30, from 11:00 PM to 5:00
AM
the following morning, eastbound I-76 will be closed between the I-676 and
South Street interchanges. During the overnight closure, eastbound I-76
traffic
will exit at 30th Street and follow 30th Street to Chestnut Street, then
left
on Chestnut Street to right on Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp to eastbound
I-76
at Walnut Street.

The lane and ramp closures will allow crews to continue demolition of the
concrete deck and repairs on two sections of the Schuylkill Avenue viaduct
and
complete installation of shielding under the viaduct.

Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow addition time for
travel on I-76 near the work areas because backups and delays will occur.
All
scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Motorists are reminded that southbound Schuylkill Avenue remains closed
between
Market Street and Chestnut Street, and northbound Schuylkill Avenue remains

closed between Walnut and Chestnut streets through late 2018 for
rehabilitation
of the structure over I-76.

In addition, eastbound Chestnut Street has been reduced from
three-lanes-to-two
between 31st Street and 30th Street for work on the viaduct over Amtrak.

The work is part of PennDOT's $103.6 million project to rehabilitate the
Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill River and eight other nearby
structures, including those carrying Schuylkill Avenue over I-76 between
Walnut
Street and Chestnut Street, and between Chestnut Street and Market Street.

In addition to repairing and repainting the steel superstructure and
replacing
the deck of the main bridge carrying Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River
and the two Schuylkill Avenue structures over I-76, the project also
includes:

• Rehabilitating two structures on the Interstate 76 on-and-off-ramps
between
Chestnut Street and Walnut Street;
• Resurfacing Chestnut Street from 31st Street to 30th Street, and from
24th
Street to 23rd Street;
• Constructing wider sidewalks and installing decorative barrier and
railings
on the Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue bridges;
• Rehabilitating a 900-foot section of the river wall structure between
I-76
and the Schuylkill River from Market Street and Walnut Street;
• Rehabilitating a 15-foot section of the retaining wall supporting the
Schuylkill River Trail under Chestnut Street;
• Installing new traffic signals, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
equipment, and street lighting along Chestnut Street between 31st Street
and
23rd Street;
• Replacing millennium lighting on Chestnut Street over the Schuylkill
River;
• Constructing a new trellis at the Chestnut Street Trailhead to the
Schuylkill
River Trail;
• Restriping pavement markings for a bicycle lane on Chestnut Street
between
34th Street and 22nd Street; and
• Installing a new clear acrylic barrier along Amtrak Northeast Corridor
tracks
located on the west side of Schuylkill Avenue West between Chestnut Street
and
Walnut Street.

The bridges on Chestnut Street and Schuylkill Avenue West will be under
construction concurrently and will remain open for most of the project.
There
will be various lane and sidewalk restrictions during the three stages of
construction that will require shifts in travel lane and sidewalk
configurations.

Approximately midway through the project, a detour will be in place for
about
one year on Chestnut Street from Schuylkill Avenue West to 23rd Street for
the
rehabilitation of the structurally deficient bridge carrying Chestnut
Street
over the CSX rail lines.

The Schuylkill River Trail will be closed below Chestnut Street for
approximately three months over the winter of 2017-2018 for repairs.

In addition, the on-and-off-ramps at the I-76 Interchange between Chestnut
Street and Walnut Street will be restricted to a single lane of traffic
during
construction. There will also be nighttime and weekend full closures of the

ramps during certain construction operations.

The entire project is scheduled to finish in fall 2020.

Buckley & Company Inc., of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state
funds.
