DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — Overnight drivers on Route 3 (West Chester Pike) should prepare for lane closures and slower travel starting Wednesday night as PennDOT begins work tied to congestion relief at the Interstate 476 interchange.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Route 3 (West Chester Pike) (between Route 320 and Lawrence Road)
- Dates: Wednesday, May 6 – Wednesday, May 13
- Times: Weekdays, 7:00 PM – 5:00 AM
- Reason: Traffic flow and interchange improvements
A nighttime lane closure will be in place on West Chester Pike between Route 320 (Sproul Road) and Lawrence Road during overnight hours. Drivers traveling through Marple and Haverford townships should expect delays as crews shift traffic and complete roadway modifications.
Plan extra time and consider alternate routes, especially during peak overnight travel windows. All work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if conditions change.
The project is designed to ease congestion and improve safety at the I-476 interchange. Planned upgrades include creating a free-flowing westbound off-ramp to northbound I-476, restriping the on-ramp, and adding a new channelized right-turn lane to better handle turning traffic. Additional improvements include new overhead lane signage and updates to pedestrian facilities to meet ADA standards.
