|
The Pennsylvania Turnpike advises motorists that I-76 will be closed in both directions on Sunday, March 24 from 12:01 a.m. to 5 a.m. between the Morgantown Interchange, Exit 298, Berks County, and the Downingtown Interchange, Exit 312, Chester County. The closure is necessary for the protection of motorists and workers so crews can safely remove bridge beams. The bridge, which carries Milford Road over the Turnpike, is at milepost 309.2 in Chester County. Pennsylvania State Police and Turnpike personnel will be positioned at the impacted areas to assist drivers. Changeable message signs will also provide information on closures and detours. Work schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions. Motorists are encouraged to plan travel accordingly. Eastbound Detour: Take State Route 10 South (1 mile), to State Route 23 East (12.5 miles), to State Route 100 South (9 miles). Re-enter the PA Turnpike at the Downingtown Interchange. Westbound Detour: Take State Route 100 North (9 miles), to State Route 23 West (12.5 miles), to State Route 10 North (1 mile). Re-enter the PA Turnpike at the Morgantown Interchange.
