RIDLEY TWP, PA — Drivers traveling through Delaware County should prepare for overnight detours next weekend as the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) schedules ramp closures on Interstate 95 and Interstate 476 for bridge and pavement repairs in Ridley Township.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: I-95 Northbound and Southbound ramps to MacDade Boulevard and I-476 Southbound ramp to I-95 Southbound.
- Dates: Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, 2026, extending into the following mornings.
- Times: 10:00 PM–9:00 AM each night.
- Reason: Bridge and pavement repairs.
During the closures, motorists will be directed to follow posted detour routes to reach MacDade Boulevard or southbound I-95. Drivers should expect delays and allow extra travel time near the affected interchanges.
Additional weeknight lane closures will continue through October on northbound and southbound I-476 between the I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) and I-95 interchanges. Those restrictions are scheduled from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM for bridge repairs, guiderail installation, and line striping.
The work is part of a $63.7 million federally funded project to resurface and improve nearly 17 miles of I-476, including repairs to 49 structures and improvements to drainage systems, sound walls, and roadside safety features. H&K Group Inc. of Skippack is the general contractor.
