Overnight lane closures this week on the Schuylkill Expressway

Overnight lane restrictions are expected this week on the Schuylkill Expressway as milling, paving and bridge repairs continue.

Monday, July 8, through Friday, July 12, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a single lane closure will be in place on I-76 between U.S. 1 and Spring Garden Street.

According to PennDOT, “PennDOT’s contractor will mill and overlay I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) pavement from U.S. 1 to I-676; perform concrete base, shoulder and barrier repair and replacement as needed; construct minor grade adjustments for existing inlets at select locations; replace damaged signs; install new pavement markings, delineators and rumble strips; and perform bridge repair.”

The work falls under a $36.8 million project to resurface and repair nearly five miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and more than 20 bridges.
