Traffic lanes on Interstate 95 and Interstate 76 will close for two weeks so crews can clean bridges along the highways.<\/p>\n
Beginning Sunday, PennDOT<\/a> will close<\/a> sections of a lane on the Schuylkill Expressway<\/a> between U.S. 1 (City Avenue) in Lower Merion and Matsonford Road in West Conshohocken from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. The travel restriction will be in place Sundays through Fridays through May 8.<\/p>\n MORE:\u00a0Delco police officers told drug dealer about investigations and took cocaine as payment, prosecutors say<\/a><\/p>\n Two more closures take effect Monday. A lane on the eastbound I-76 ramp to U.S. 1 (Roosevelt Boulevard) will be closed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Philadelphia. In Ridley Township<\/a>, a lane on southbound I-95 between Bullens Lane and U.S. 13 (Chester Pike) will be closed weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Both of these restrictions will continue through May 8.<\/p>\n PennDOT advised drivers to account for delays and backups while the closures are in effect. Bridge cleaning is dependent on the weather.<\/p>\n Every spring, PennDOT sends workers out to sweep and flush 16,000 state bridges of chloride residue from the winter’s road salting.\u00a0<\/p>\n Follow Kristin & PhillyVoice on Twitter: @kristin_hunt
