King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that various construction activities will occur next week on I-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, April 7, through Friday, April 11, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on sections of northbound and southbound I-476 between the I-76 and I-95 interchanges for pavement patching, tree clearing, and utility construction.
- Monday, April 7, through Friday, April 11, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on the ramp from northbound I-476 to U.S. 30 (Exit 13), and on the ramp from U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) to northbound I-476 for milling and paving.
- Monday, April 7, through Friday, April 11, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on the ramp from southbound I-476 to Route 3 (Exit 9), and on the ramp from Route 3 (West Chester Pike) to southbound I-476 for milling and paving.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under the 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.
