Nighttime Restrictions on I-76 at South Street Interchange in Philadelphia for Overhead Bridge Construction by City of Philadelphia
King of Prussia – Weeknight travel restrictions will be in effect on Interstate 76 at the South Street Interchange in Philadelphia for the next two weeks (Aug. 16-27) for overhead bridge construction by the City of Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said today.
Motorists traveling east on I-76 will be taken off the expressway at the South Street off-ramp and placed back on the eastbound expressway from the South Street on-ramp on Mondays through Fridays from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Westbound I-76 traffic will be reduced from two lanes to one during this time.
In addition, the Walnut Street on-ramp to I-76 East will be closed and detoured Mondays through Fridays from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. over the next two weeks. Motorists will be detoured west on Walnut Street, left on 34th Street and University Avenue to the 34th Street on-ramp to I-76 East.
Lane closures on westbound I-76 at South Street will not start until 11:00 p.m. on nights when the Phillies and Eagles play at the stadium complex in south Philadelphia.
I-76 motorists are advised to allow additional time to travel through the construction area or use an alternate route because backups will occur as crews perform painting, backfilling and shielding removal operations. The contractor’s schedule is dependent on the weather.
This work is part of the City of Philadelphia’s $67 million project to construct the new South Street Bridge.
PennDOT reminds motorists they can log on to 511pa.com or call 511 from any phone to check traffic conditions on I-76 and other major highways before heading out.
