The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists traveling southbound on the Northeastern Extension (I-476) to be prepared for slow moving or stopped traffic when exiting the Mid-County (Exit #20) Interchange. Nighttime lane closures will be in effect on I-476 tonight through Friday (Feb. 14-19) from 7 p.m. each evening until 6 a.m. the following morning as crews continue preparations for the start of PennDOT's southbound reconstruction between Mid-County and the I-76 Interchange.
Sunday through Tuesday (Feb. 14-16) southbound I-476 will be reduced from three lanes to two from Mid-County (Exit 20) to the Ridge Pike (Exit 18) Interchange.
Monday through Thursday (Feb. 15-18) from 7 p.m. - 11 p.m. northbound I-476 will be reduced from three lanes to two from the I-76 Interchange to Ridge Pike (Exit 18) and traffic will be reduced to one open lane from 11 p.m. - 6 a.m.
In addition to lane closures, motorists using I-476 between Mid-County and I-76 may encounter periodic brief stoppages each night as crews move and set barrier and paint new lane markings.
