The ramp from westbound Interstate 76 to Conshohocken (Route 23) is
scheduled
to close on Monday, November 13, through Thursday, November 16, from 9:00
PM to
5:00 AM the following morning for concrete patching operations, as part of
a
project to repair and resurface 12.5 miles of the expressway in Upper
Merion
and Lower Merion townships, and West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery
County,
the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

During the 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.

In addition to the ramp closure, overnight lane closures are planned next
week
on eastbound and westbound I-76 for pavement installations and various
repair
and cleaning operations. The work schedule is:

• Monday, November 13, through Thursday, November 16, 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 17, and Saturday, November 18, 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).

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.

the
$21,150,734 project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
