I-676 Overnight Lane Closures Next Week for Bridge Construction in Philadelphia

I-676 Overnight Lane Closures Next Week for Bridge Construction in
Philadelphia

1/5/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Intermittent right lane closures are scheduled on Interstate 676 in both
directions between the 17th Street and 22nd Street bridges in Philadelphia
on
Wednesday, January 10, and Thursday, January 11, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning for overhead bridge construction, the Pennsylvania
Department
of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

Drivers should allow additional time for travel in the construction zone
because backups and delays will occur. The contractor's schedule is weather

dependent.

The overnight operation is part of the four-year, $64.8 million project to
replace seven bridges over I-676 between 22nd Street and 18th Street, and
to
make landscaping and streetscape improvements above the expressway.
Construction began in April 2015 and will finish in November 2018, a year
ahead
of schedule.

Buckley & Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the
project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
