The ramp from southbound I-476 to Baltimore Pike (Exit 3) will be closed during the overnight hours for inspection work tied to a larger interstate improvement project.
During the closure, drivers will be directed to exit at U.S. 1 (Media Bypass) (Exit 5), turn left onto U.S. 1 North (Media Bypass), then turn right onto Route 320 (Sproul Road) to reconnect with Baltimore Pike.
Motorists should expect delays along the detour and near the work zone. Plan extra time and consider alternate routes if traveling through the area overnight.
The inspection is part of a $63.7 million project to resurface, repair, and upgrade nearly 17 miles of I-476 between I-76 (Schuylkill Expressway) in West Conshohocken and I-95 in Ridley Township. The work includes bridge repairs, pavement resurfacing, drainage improvements, and safety upgrades.
