Lanes Closing Overnight On Interstate 76 Next Week In Lower Merion

LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP, PA — PennDOT said work on Interstate 76 west in Lower Merion and Philadelphia next will force overnight lane closures.

Bridge joint sealing operations will begin next week on westbound I-76 under a $37.9 million project to resurface and repair nearly five miles of the interstate, the associated on-and-off ramps, and more than 20 bridges in Philadelphia and Lower Merion.

According to PennDOT, the lane closures will be in effect from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning Monday through Friday next week.

The lane closures will be in place on westbound I-76 between the Montgomery Drive and U.S. 1 South/City Avenue interchanges.

Drivers 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.
