Entry Ramp Closures Scheduled at Willow Grove Interchange
Early morning closure planned to reduce traffic impacts
WILLOW GROVE, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (Commission) advises motorists looking to enter the PA Turnpike (Interstate 276) at Willow Grove Interchange (Exit 343) that the entry ramps will be closed from midnight until 5 a.m. on Friday, October 23, 2026.
The closure is necessary to allow Commission crews to safely install an overhead sign structure at the interchange. Customers looking to enter the PA Turnpike during those times should instead enter at Fort Washington (Exit 339) or Bensalem (Exit 351). Customers looking to go westbound can also enter at the Virginia Drive Interchange (Exit 340).
Pennsylvania State Police and PA Turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted areas to assist drivers. Changeable message signs will also provide information on this closure. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.
