I-76 East, West to Close at Night Next Week for Overhead Viaduct Construction in Center City Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA – Eastbound and westbound Interstate 76 will be closed at 30th Street several nights next week for overhead viaduct construction in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The work locations and times are:
- Monday, August 2, through Wednesday, August 4, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, eastbound I-76 will be closed and westbound I-76 will be reduced to a single lane between 30th Street and South Street. Eastbound traffic will be detoured to the off-ramp at 30th Street, turn left on Chestnut Street, then right Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp back to eastbound I-76 at Walnut Street; and
- Thursday, August 5, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, westbound I-76 will be closed between 30th Street and Interstate 676. Westbound motorists will exit at 30th Street and follow Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp to westbound I-76 at Market Street.
Drivers are advised to use alternate routes or allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All operations are weather dependent.
Repairs to the overhead viaduct are part of PennDOT's $103.6 million project to rehabilitate the Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill River and eight other nearby structures, including those carrying Schuylkill Avenue over I-76 between Walnut Street and Market Street.
