King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that daytime line striping operations will occur this week on I-476 under a $63.7 million project to resurface, repair and improve nearly 17 miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and bridges from I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) in West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County, to I-95 in Ridley Township, Delaware County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Wednesday, November 12, through Tuesday, November 25, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, mobile lane closures will be in place weekdays on sections of northbound and southbound I-476 between the I-76 (Exit 16) and Route 3 (Exit 9) interchanges.
Motorists are also reminder that lane closures will be in place on northbound I-476 approaching the Media/Swarthmore Interchange (Exit 3) in Nether Providence Township for fiber repair from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning through Friday, November 14.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this resurfacing and bridge repair project, PennDOT’s contractor will mill and overlay I-476 travel lanes and shoulders in both directions; perform repairs on 49 structures; improve 21 stormwater management basins to address existing rock slope stabilization issues; repair existing sound walls; replace inlets at select locations; and install new pavement markings, delineators, rumble strips, signage, and guiderail.
The purpose of this project is to extend the design life and improve ride quality and safety of the interstate and improve the current condition of roadside elements such as stormwater basins, drainage inlets, slope stabilization, guiderail and signs that are in poor condition.
H&K Group, Inc. of Skippack, PA, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
