I-676 Overnight Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 676 motorists will encounter single lane closures in both directions between the Interstate 76 and Broad Street interchanges in Philadelphia on Monday, October 15, through Thursday, October 18, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for median barrier painting and cleanup operations, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Motorists are advised that backups may occur at times approaching the work zone. All schedule activities are weather permitting.
The nighttime operations are among the final construction activities on the $64.8 million project that replaced seven poor condition bridges over I-676 between 22nd Street and 18th Street, and completed hardscaping, landscaping and streetscape improvements above the expressway.
Bridge construction and above-expressway improvements were substantially completed in May with the opening of the new 18th Street overpass, the last of seven structures replaced under the 100 percent federally-funded project. PennDOT's contractor is completing final work items that will finish the project in early fall, more than 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.
