Commuter Alert: I-476, Roosevelt Blvd Major Repairs To Cause Delays

I-476 Paving and Resurfacing To Cause Delays, Closures Late Summer into Early Fall

A major roadwork project fixing some of the damaged and deteriorated portions of I-476 has been rescheduled to begin Friday. The project, which is funded by part of Pennsylvania's new transportation plan, will cause lane closures and delays in the overnight hours in both directions on the highway through stretches of Delaware and Montgomery counties. Work will take place on weeknights between 9 p.m. and 5 a. m.

Resurfacing and repaving will occur in the below areas:

Northbound travel lanes between the Route 3 and U.S. Route 30 interchanges in Delaware County

#Philly Construction Alert: Spring Garden Bridge Gets Makeover

Philly's Spring Garden Bridge Under Construction Beginning 

Monday, August 11th

Philly commuters, heads up! Beginning Monday, August 11th, the Spring Garden Bridge (which boasts some of the most beautiful views of the Philly city skyline) will be getting a makeover. According to city officials, one of the spans has become structurally deficient and is in the need of joint replacement, new bearings and pier caps. 

As the bridge is very heavily traveled by cars, trucks and pedestrians, the construction will not result in a full closure. Instead, repair will take place in pieces, fixing the north side in 2014 and the south side in 2015. This way, one side will always be open and passable for commuters, lessening the effect on traffic backups in Eakins Oval and on I-76. 

However, drivers need to be aware that beginning in mid-September, the I-76 off ramp from Spring Garden St. will be closed for 70 days and thus, the highway will not be accessible from the bridge. 

I-76 will also be affected by closing the shoulders during the duration of the project, and single lane closures on the highway will also occur periodically. 

The project is scheduled to finish in summer 2015.
