PA Turpike Closed For 6 Hours Sunday, Dec. 17

CHESTER COUNTY —Pennsylvania Turnpike will be closed in both directions between midnight and 6 a.m. Sunday from Downingtown interchange (Exit 312) in Chester County to Morgantown (Exit 298) interchange in Berks County to allow crews to install bridge beams, officials announced Friday.

The closure is necessary so crews can safely install the beams supporting the span that carries Manor Road Bridge over the turnpike, which is Interstate 76, at mile marker 301.03 in Chester County.

State police and turnpike personnel will be at the impacted areas to assist drivers. Digital message signs will also provide information on closures and detours.
