A section of Interstate 76 will close overnight beginning this weekend to accommodate the demolition of the Market Street Bridge.<\/p>\n

The Market Street Bridge demolition is part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s 14-month, $148.9 million project to rehabilitate the bridges <\/a>that carry Market Street over Amtrak and I-76, the Schuylkill River Trail, and the CSX Railroad in Center City, Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Nightly one-direction closures will begin Sunday, Oct. 4, and continue through Thursday, Oct. 8, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning. Either eastbound or westbound I-76, the Schuylkill Expressway, will be closed and detoured between the I-676 and 30th Street interchanges.<\/p>\n

According to officials, the direction of these closures will be determined by events near the Sports Complex in South Philly and demolition progress.<\/p>\n

Beginning at 9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 9, I-76 will be closed in both directions between the I-676 and 30th Street interchanges for two full days, ending at 5 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 12.<\/p>\n

Eastbound I-76 drivers will be directed to exit at Arch Street and 30th Street, to turn left on Chestnut Street, and to turn right onto Schuylkill Avenue to access the ramp to I-76 at Walnut Street.<\/p>\n

Westbound I-76 drivers will be directed to exit at Walnut Street and follow Schuylkill Avenue to I-76 and I-676.<\/p>\n

PennDOT advises drivers to allow for additional time when traveling along the detour routes and work areas due to expected backups and delays. <\/p>\n
