DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Drivers on Route 3 (West Chester Pike) should prepare for ongoing congestion as PennDOT implements a long-term lane closure near the I-476 interchange in Marple and Haverford townships.
At a Glance:
- Roads Affected: Route 3 (West Chester Pike – Eastbound)
- Dates: Through Thursday, April 30
- Times: 24/7 lane closure
- Reason: Roadway reconstruction and traffic flow improvements
PennDOT said a continuous lane closure is in place on eastbound Route 3 between the I-476 South off-ramp and Lawrence Road. Traffic is reduced in the area, and drivers should expect significant backups, especially during peak travel times.
No detour is planned, but motorists should anticipate heavy congestion near the interchange. Plan extra time or seek alternate routes to avoid delays along this busy corridor.
The work is part of a $5.2 million project aimed at improving traffic flow through the I-476 interchange, including ramp reconfigurations, signal adjustments, and added turning lanes.
Drivers are urged to remain alert, reduce speeds, and follow all posted signage through the construction zone.
