Pennsylvania Turnpike to Close Overnight June 26 between Bensalem and Delaware Valley
Six-hour closure needed to install sign structures.

 

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission advises motorists that I-276 will be closed westbound on June 26 between the Bensalem Interchange, Exit 351, and the Delaware Valley Interchange, Exit 358, in Bristol Township, Bucks County, for a six-hour period from 12:01 to 6 a.m. The closure is necessary to protect motorists and workers as crews install sign structures.

Prior to the installation of the sign structure, single-lane closures and traffic stoppages may occur June 25 during the night-time hours to prepare for the closure.

Pennsylvania State Police and Turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted interchanges to assist drivers. Changeable message signs will also provide information on closures and detours. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions.

Drivers traveling westbound on I-276 will need to exit the Delaware Valley Interchange, Exit 358, and take U.S. Route 13 south to State Route 132 (Street Road) west to U.S. Route 1 north. Reenter the Turnpike at the Bensalem Interchange, Exit 351, to continue westbound on 1-276.
