Overnight Closure of PA Turnpike Scheduled Sunday Between Downingtown and Morgantown Interchanges

Overhead bridge being removed, detours will be posted.

ELVERSON, Pa. — The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) will be closed in both directions between the Downingtown (Exit 312) and Morgantown (Exit 298) interchanges on Sunday, June 2 between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m.

The closure is necessary to allow Turnpike crews to continue to finish the removal of the bridge that carries PA Route 82 (Manor Road) over the Turnpike at milepost 301.03 as part of a Total Reconstruction Project in the corridor.

Pennsylvania State Police and Turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted areas to assist drivers. The following detours will be in place during that time:

Eastbound Detour

PA Route 10 South: 1 mile

PA Route 23 East: 12.4 miles

PA Roure 100 South: 9 miles

Re-enter the PA Turnpike at the Downingtown Interchange, Exit 312 

Westbound Detour

PA Route 100 North: 9 miles

PA Route 24 West:12.4 miles

PA Route 10 North: 1 mile

Re-enter the PA Turnpike at the Morgantown Interchange, Exit 298

Information will be posted and announcements will be made prior to the closure at the Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza (MP 304.8 Westbound) warning customers of the shutdown. Those that remain after 11 p.m. on June 1 will be required to stay until the road reopens.

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