King of Prussia, PA – Lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 30 (West Girard Avenue) and the eastbound Interstate 76 off-ramp to U.S. 30 (West Girard Avenue) in Philadelphia, Mondays through Saturdays, beginning Tuesday, June 1, through Wednesday, June 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for bridge construction as part of a project to replace the bridge that carries four lanes of traffic and the SEPTA Route 15 trolley over CSX railroad tracks between 34th and 38th streets in the Parkside neighborhood of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The work schedule is:
- Lane closures are scheduled on U.S. 30 (West Girard Avenue) between 34th Street and 38th Street; and
- The eastbound I-76 off-ramp to U.S. 30 (West Girard Avenue) will be reduced to a single lane.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.
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.
The scope of the project includes replacement of the bridge superstructure and rehabilitation of the stone support abutments. In addition, the exit ramp of eastbound Interstate 76 will have a dedicated right turn lane added. The SEPTA trolley tracks will also be replaced across the bridge.
Neshaminy Constructors Inc., is the general contractor on the $4,146,204 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to finish in spring 2021.
