Allentown Service Plaza Ramp Closures Scheduled May 1-5

Allentown Service Plaza Ramp Closures Scheduled May 1-5

Service plaza visitors should prepare for overnight ramp closures.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission will be performing a milling and paving operation on the northbound ramps at the Allentown Service Plaza starting tonight, Monday, May 1 through Friday, May 5. The ramps will be closed from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. each night. 

During this time, the northbound exit and entry ramps will be closed to all traffic at the Allentown Service Plaza. Visitors that do not exit the service plaza prior to 7 p.m. each night, will have to remain in the service plaza until the work is completed and the ramps are reopened to traffic. 

The Allentown Service Plaza is located on I-476 northbound and southbound at milepost 55.9 in Lehigh County.

Northbound motorists should seek alternate options for fuel, food, and restrooms by using the nearest available interchange on I-476, depending on your travel destination. 

Southbound customers travelling on I-476 will not be impacted during these ramp closures. The Allentown Service Plaza will still be accessible in the southbound direction.

Changeable message signs will also provide information on these closures. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.
