Overnight lane closures are scheduled this week on Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) between the South Street and Interstate 676 interchanges in Philadelphia for overhead bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.
Westbound I-76 will be reduced from two lanes to one tonight and Wednesday (Oct. 7-8) from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. On Thursday and Friday (Oct. 9-10), eastbound I-76 will be down to one lane from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. the next morning. The restriction will be in place while crews remove protective shielding from the overhead Schuylkill Avenue structure.
The contractor's schedule has been adjusted so it does not impact traffic flow following the Phillies' playoff game Thursday night.
The work schedule is dependent on the weather.
This operation is part of PennDOT's $17.9 million project to rehabilitate the JFK Boulevard Bridge over the Schuylkill River and to make structural repairs to the deck carrying Schuylkill Avenue over I-76. Construction began in early April and is scheduled to finish in February 2009.
