• Sunday, April 7, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, the eastbound I-76 ramp to northbound U.S. 1 in Philadelphia will be closed and detoured. During the closure, motorists will be directed to continue on eastbound I-76, exit at Montgomery Drive and take westbound I-76 to access northbound U.S. 1; and
• Sunday, April 7, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a left lane closure is scheduled on northbound U.S. 1 between the I-76 and Wissahickon Avenue interchanges.
