    Barrier Removal Planned Sunday Night Next Week on I-76 West (Schuylkill Expressway) in Philadelphia

    November 09, 2023

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that barrier removal operations will occur at night next week on westbound Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) under a $36.8 million project to resurface and repair nearly five miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and 23 bridges from U.S. 1 (City Avenue) to Interstate 676 (Vine Street Expressway) in Philadelphia.

    Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. The work times next week will be adjusted as needed to accommodate motorists traveling to-and-from the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia.

    Under this contract, PennDOT will mill and overlay I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) pavement in both directions; 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 repairs.

    H&K Group, Inc. of Skippack, PA, is the general contractor on this project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Work on the entire project is expected to finish in late 2024.

    Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
