King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that resurfacing and bridge repair operations will continue next week on Interstate 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 restrictions:
- Monday, August 19, through Friday, August 23, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on sections of southbound I-476 between the I-76 and I-95 interchanges for milling and paving.
- Monday, August 19, through Friday, August 23, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a lane closure with flagging will be in place on Baltimore Pike between Turner Road and Paper Mill Road in Nether Providence and Springfield townships for overhead bridge repair.
- Wednesday, August 21, and Thursday, August 22, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound I-476 from just south of the Route 3 (West Chester Pike) Interchange to the Media/Swarthmore Interchange for ITS installation.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant 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. Physical construction on the project is expected to finish in late 2025.
