Overnight Lane Closures on I-76 Begin Monday Night, March 9
Valley Forge Road Bridge (Route 252) Work Continues

King of Prussia, Pa.—The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is advising motorists to be prepared for overnight lane closures eastbound and westbound on I-76 Monday, March 9 through Wednesday, March 11, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. The general contractor, Allan A. Myers, LLC, will be setting up intermittent single lane traffic patterns to install temporary concrete barrier on the shoulders and paint new traffic lines.

The placement of the temporary barrier will create a work zone between milepost 324.0 and 324.9 and is part of the Turnpike's project to replace the Valley Forge Road Bridge (Route 252) that crosses over the Turnpike at milepost 324.3. The barrier will remain in place until the new bridge is completed in November.

Motorists are urged to stay alert for slow moving construction vehicles, stopped traffic, and lane closures. Posted speed limits will be enforced and fines doubled.
