Nightly closures on Schuylkill Expressway WB for Market Street bridge repairs | What to know

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Roadwork is ramping back up in Philadelphia now that the big summer events in Philadelphia are over.

There will be nightly closures on the Schuylkill Expressway for the Market Street bridge project, beginning Monday.

I-76 westbound will be shut down between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., between 30th Street and the Vine Street Expressway.

Drivers will be directed to exit at 30th Street and travel west on Schuylkill Avenue to access the ramps to I-76 West (Schuylkill Expressway) and I-676 East.

The center lane on MArket Street, between Schuylkill Avenue and 30th Street, will also be closed for utility construction. Officials say two lanes of traffic will be maintained in both directions at all times.



Then in late August, the 94-year-old bridge will be closed to cars until late next year.

Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to access the Market Street bridge.
