Part of I-76 West to close overnight in Philadelphia next week, PennDOT says

Part of I-76 West in Philadelphia is set to close overnight next week as construction continues on the Market Street Bridge. 

Westbound I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) will close between 30th Street and the I-676 interchanges for bridge bearing repairs Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights (Nov. 17-19) from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. 

Drivers will be directed to exit the highway at 30th Street and travel west on Schuylkill Avenue to the ramps to I-76 West and I-676 East, according to PennDOT. 

The construction is part of the nearly $150 million project to rehabilitate the bridge that connects Center City and University City via Market Street. 

Drivers should leave extra time during the detour, PennDOT said.
