Walnut Street Ramp to I-76 East at 30th Street to Close Monday for 25 Days of Construction in Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – The Walnut Street ramp to eastbound Interstate 76 at the 30th Street Interchange in Philadelphia will be closed and detoured for 25 days beginning at 11:00 AM Monday, May 20, for structural repairs and resurfacing operations, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. 

Motorists normally using the ramp will be directed west on Walnut Street, left on 38th Street to University Avenue, and then south on 34th Street to access the ramp to eastbound I-76. Weather permitting, the ramp is scheduled to reopen on Friday, June 14.

The ramp repairs are part of PennDOT's $103.6 million project to rehabilitate the Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill River and seven other nearby structures, including the westbound I-76 ramp to 30th Street and the Walnut Street on-ramp to eastbound I-76 at 30th Street. The Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill River is scheduled to close for approximately one year beginning in mid-June for major rehabilitation — including steel repairs, repainting and re-decking.
