King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge repairs will occur on eastbound Route 3 (West Chester Pike) under a $5.2 million project to improve traffic flow and relieve congestion through Interstate 476 Interchange in Marple and Haverford townships, Delaware County.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The improvements under this project include the delineation of the westbound Route 3 (West Chester Pike) off-ramp to the northbound I-476 on-ramp from the signalized intersection at South Lawrence Road. The traffic signal will no longer control the lane and will be free flowing. The northbound I-476 on-ramp will be restriped. South Lawrence Road will maintain the same lane configuration including dual left-turn lanes and a right-turn-only lane.

A new channelized right-turn lane will be constructed at the intersection of Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and northbound I-476 off-ramp/on-ramp to accommodate vehicles from South Lawrence Road to northbound I-476.

A new cantilever overhead lane designation sign structure will be also installed along westbound Route 3 (West Chester Pike), east of North Lawrence Road. The ADA curb ramps and pedestrian facilities along the corridor will be evaluated and updated, as necessary, to meet current ADA standards.

Road-Con, Inc. of West Chester, Chester County, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
