EZ Pass express lanes under construction at Mid-County Toll Plaza

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa. (WPVI) -- Some drivers who normally use the E-ZPass express lanes at the Pennsylvania Turnpike's busy Mid-County Toll Plaza in Plymouth Meeting found some of those lanes closed Monday morning.

The reason: workers have begun installing upgrades to the electronic tolling equipment on both the northbound and southbound sides.

The closures were scheduled to begin at 6 a.m. Sunday. The construction work is set to continue for three weeks, through April 10th.

During this time commuters will still be able to access the normal E-ZPass lanes on north- and southbound I-476.

Only the express lanes in each direction are being affected.

The construction work is Phase One of a three-phase repair project to repair and upgrade the Mid-County Tolls.

Phases Two and Three will include repair work to concrete surfaces on I-476 and to the ramps leading to the east- and westbound Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276).
