King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that road construction will occur at night next week on Route 3 (West Chester Pike) under a $5.2 million project to improve traffic flow and relieve congestion through Interstate 476 Interchange in Marple and Haverford townships, Delaware County.
Drivers are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on Route 3 (West Chester Pike) in both directions between the I-476 overpass and Old West Chester Pike.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Improvements under this project include the delineation of the westbound Route 3 (West Chester Pike) off-ramp to the northbound I-476 on-ramp from the signalized intersection at South Lawrence Road. The traffic signal will no longer control the lane and will be free flowing. The northbound I-476 on-ramp will be restriped. South Lawrence Road will maintain the same lane configuration including dual left-turn lanes and a right-turn-only lane.
For more information, visit the Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and I-476 Interchange Improvement Project webpage.
