King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that beam repairs are scheduled on the Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) bridge over Matsonford Road in Upper Merion and Lower Merion townships, Montgomery County.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, March 20, through early April, a weeknight road closure is scheduled from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning on Matsonford Road between Hillside Avenue and the southbound Interstate 476 Interchange.
In addition, Route 320 motorist will have ramp access to southbound I-476, while ramps to northbound I-476 and westbound I-76 will be accessed from Route 23 (Front Street).
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. Local access will be maintained up to the construction zone. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Built in 1950, the I-76 one-span stringer bridge is 90-feet-wide and carries approximately 76,216 vehicles per day.
