I-76 East Reduced to Single Lane Thursday, Friday, Saturday for Viaduct Repairs in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Eastbound Interstate 76 will be reduced to one lane between 30th Street and University Avenue and the eastbound on-ramp at South Street will be closed from 7:00 PM Thursday, December 10, to 5:00 AM Friday, December 11, and from 7:00 PM Friday, December 11, to 3:00 PM Saturday, December 12, for viaduct repairs in Center City Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
Traffic normally using the South Street on-ramp will be directed west on South Street, then south on 34th Street to the University Avenue on-ramp to eastbound I-76.
Motorists are reminded that westbound I-76 remains reduced to one lane around-the-clock between University Avenue and 30th Street. The eastbound off-ramp and westbound on-ramp at South Street remain closed for construction of a new I-76 median barrier. Motorists normally using the closed South Street ramps will follow posted detour signs.
Drivers are advised to use alternate routes or allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur during all of the scheduled activities. All activities are weather dependent.
Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signing, and relevant training.
PennDOT is repairing, resurfacing and replacing the median barrier on the I-76 viaduct under a $40 million contract. More information is available at www.i76viaduct.com.
