Motorists traveling through the corridor should expect significant slowdowns and backups, especially during late-night travel windows. Plan extra time and consider alternate routes to avoid delays.

The work is part of a $37.9 million project to resurface nearly five miles of I-76 and repair more than 20 bridges in Philadelphia and Lower Merion Township.
