MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Four ramps connecting Interstate 476 and Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) will close overnight Friday, August 28, and Saturday, August 29, forcing drivers onto posted detours during paving work in West Conshohocken Borough and Lower Merion Township.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: I-476 and I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) interchange ramps.
- Dates: Friday, August 28, through Sunday morning, August 30.
- Times: 10:00 PM to 9:00 AM the following morning on both nights.
- Reason: Ramp milling and paving.
The following ramps will close during the scheduled overnight work:

- Westbound I-76 to southbound I-476.
- Westbound I-76 to northbound I-476.
- Eastbound I-76 to northbound I-476.
Drivers will be directed to follow posted detour routes. PennDOT did not identify the specific roads included in those detours.
Motorists should plan extra time, expect delays near the interchange, and consider alternate routes when traveling through Montgomery County overnight.
Drivers should also prepare for continuing weeknight lane closures on northbound and southbound I-476 between the I-76 and I-95 interchanges in Montgomery and Delaware counties. Those restrictions are scheduled from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM through early September.
The ramp closures are part of a $63.7 million project to resurface and improve nearly 17 miles of I-476, including its ramps and bridges.
Additional work includes repairs to 49 structures, improvements to 21 stormwater management basins, slope stabilization, sound wall repairs, drainage upgrades, and new pavement markings, rumble strips, signs, and guiderails.
H&K Group Inc., of Skippack, is the general contractor. The project is financed entirely with federal funds.
