The I-76 West ramp to 30th Street is closing for four weeks beginning this Saturday for repairs and resurfacing, according to PennDOT. The ramp will close at 12:01 a.m. on July 21 and is expected to reopen in mid-August.

During the ramp closure, motorists are advised to use an alternate exit at South Street and should expect delays.

The closure is part of the $103.6 million project to rehabilitate the Chestnut Street Bridge over the Schuylkill River and several nearby structures. The project is expected to be completed in Fall 2020. 

PennDOT has also announced overnight lane restrictions on I-76 next week near 30th Street due to construction on the viaduct carrying Schuylkill Avenue over the expressway (between Walnut and Market streets). I-76 will be reduced to a single lane in both directions between the South Street and Interstate 676 interchanges from Monday, July 23, through Thursday, July 26, every night from 9:00 p.m to 5:00 a.m. Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow additional time for travel on I-76 through the work areas.
