Ramp connecting Route 1 southbound to Schuylkill Expressway westbound in Philadelphia reopens

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The ramp connecting the southbound lanes of Route 1 to the westbound lanes of the Schuylkill Expressway in Philadelphia has reopened, PennDOT announced Friday night.

The ramp was closed for repair work following a crash earlier this week.

However, PennDOT said more work will need to be done at a later date for more permanent repairs.

The ramp was closed Tuesday after discovering structural damage to beams at its base.

PennDOT said the damage was caused by a cargo container, carried by a truck, that slammed into it on Tuesday afternoon.
