PHILADELPHIA — More work on Interstate 76 in the Center City Philadelphia area will impact travel overnight for a week, PennDOT said. Eastbound and westbound Interstate 76 will be reduced to one lane between University Avenue and Interstate 676 Friday night to Monday morning. The single-lane limitation will begin at 7 p.m. Friday and be lifted at 5 a.m. Monday to accommodate installation of impact attenuators, median barrier repairs and pavement profiling. On and off-ramps at South Street, the westbound off-ramps at 30th Street and I-676, and westbound on-ramps at University Avenue and Vare Avenue also will be closed during this weekend's scheduled activities. Motorists heading for those exits will follow posted detours. In addition, westbound I-76 will be closed between South Street and I-676 periodically from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning for overhead viaduct repair Monday, March 8 to Friday, March 12. The westbound off-ramp to 30th Street also will be closed periodically. When westbound I-76 is closed at 30th Street, traffic will exit at 30th Street and follow Schuylkill Avenue to the ramp to I-76 west at Market Street. When the westbound 30th Street off-ramp is closed, westbound I-76 motorists heading to 30th Street will be detoured west on I-76 to I-676 east, exit at 23rd Street, turn left on 22nd Street, then left on the ramp to I-676 west and take I-76 east to the ramp to 30th Street.
