SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced significant nighttime construction on Interstate 476 next week. This work is part of a $63.7 million project aimed at resurfacing, repairing, and improving nearly 17 miles of the interstate. The project extends from the I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) in West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County, to I-95 in Ridley Township, Delaware County.
From Monday, June 3, through Friday, June 7, the following lane closures will be in effect from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM:
- Southbound I-476 between the U.S. 1 and I-95 interchanges for guiderail replacement.
- Southbound I-476 between the I-76 and Route 3 (Upper Darby/Broomall) interchanges for guiderail replacement.
- Northbound I-476 between the I-95 and Route 3 (Upper Darby/Broomall) interchanges for milling and paving.
Additionally, daytime lane closures will occur as follows:
- Bryn Mawr Avenue will be reduced to a single lane with flagging at the Ithan Avenue Intersection in Radnor Township on Monday, June 3, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for bridge repair.
- Rose Valley Road will be reduced to a single lane with flagging between Avondale Road and Osborne Lane in Nether Providence Township from Tuesday, June 4, through Friday, June 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for bridge repair.
Motorists should expect backups and delays when traveling through these areas and are advised to allow extra time for their commutes. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
This comprehensive project involves milling and overlaying travel lanes and shoulders in both directions on I-476. It also includes repairs on 49 structures, improvements to 21 stormwater management basins, stabilization of existing rock slopes, repairs to sound walls, and replacements of inlets at select locations. Additionally, new pavement markings, delineators, rumble strips, signage, and guiderails will be installed.
H&K Group, Inc., based in Skippack, Pennsylvania, is the general contractor for this federally funded project.
The project is expected to be completed by late 2025, reflecting PennDOT’s ongoing commitment to infrastructure improvement in the region. The agency’s efforts aim to minimize disruptions while achieving long-term benefits for the public.
Residents and commuters alike should stay informed about construction updates and plan their travel accordingly to avoid congestion and delays.
