PennDOT crews will be working on construction of the new 22nd Street bridge and on demolition of the existing 18th Street bridge, the last of seven bridges over I-676 to undergo construction.
The work will underway, and closures in effect, from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. Monday through Thursday.
Detours will be in place during the construction hours.
In addition, the 22nd Street ramp to I-676 West closed Monday morning for reconstruction.
The ramp is expected to remain closed for three to four weeks.
Traffic normally using the I-676 ramp for access to westbound I-76 will be detoured north on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway to the Spring Garden Street ramp to I-76 west. Motorists using the 22nd Street ramp to access eastbound I-76 will be directed west on JFK Boulevard, south on 30th Street, left on Chestnut Street and right on Schuylkill Avenue to the I-76 east ramp at Walnut Street.
Both operations are part of PennDOT's $64.8 million project to rebuild deteriorated spans over I-676 between 18th Street and 22nd Street.
