King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) invites citizens to attend a live virtual public meeting on Tuesday, May 6, and an in-person Open House Plans Display on Tuesday, May 13, to review improvement plans for the upcoming project to construct a flexible travel lane on I-476 in both directions between the Route 3 and I-95 interchanges, and on southbound I-95 between the I-476 and U.S. 322 interchanges in Delaware County.
The I-476 Flex Lane project will provide a series of measures that will allow for the dynamic management of recurring congestion based on prevailing and predicted traffic conditions. Specifically, the inside shoulders of I-476 will be expanded to allow for these shoulders to be operated as travel lanes in response to congestion or incidents. Additionally, adaptive ramp metering will be used to dynamically adjust signals at the ramp entrances to proactively manage vehicle flow from on-ramps.
As part of PennDOT's public outreach program, the department encourages citizens to attend the live virtual public meeting on Tuesday, May 6, beginning at 7:00 PM, by clicking on this Microsoft Live Teams meeting link prior to the presentation start time. The department’s design team will deliver a project presentation before opening the meeting to questions using the platform’s Q&A feature.
Please note that internet access or a computer or mobile device are required to view the virtual meeting. Anyone with special needs or requiring special aid is requested to contact PennDOT Consultant Project Manager Michael McGuire.
Members of the public who are unable to join the online meeting, can attend an in-person public meeting on Tuesday, May 13, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Community Arts Center at 414 Plush Mill Road, Wallingford, PA 19086. The meeting will be conducted as an open house where citizens will have the opportunity to circulate among the subject displays to gather information and discuss the different facets of the project with PennDOT’s design teams.
