County

11/16/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

Daytime and overnight lane closures are scheduled the next two weeks 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 pavement marking installations,
line
painting and various repair and cleaning operations as part of a project to

repair and resurface 12.5 miles of the expressway, the Pennsylvania
Department
of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, November 20, and Tuesday, November 21, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM;
• Monday, November 20, through Wednesday, November 22, from 10:00 AM to
2:00
PM; and
• Wednesday, November 29, through Friday, December 1, from 10:00 AM to 2:00
PM
and 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM.

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.
All
scheduled activities are weather dependent.

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 was 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.
