Get ready for some nighttime traffic tangles, folks. PennDOT is putting the pedal to the metal on a $63.7 million project that'll see parts of I-476 getting a facelift, starting next week in Montgomery and Delaware Counties. By day, the interstate might look like business as usual, but come dusk the orange cones and flashing lights will signal the night shift putting in the work, milling down the old and paving on the new from West Conshohocken down to Ridley Township.

For those hitting the gas on the I-476 after nightfall, expect lane closures from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM next Monday through Friday, especially if you're cruising northbound between the Route 3 and I-76 interchanges or heading south from U.S. 1 to I-95, The crews will be out there doing their thing, and although it's a sign of progress delays are inevitable, so plan your night drives accordingly or find an alternate route.

Daytime drivers aren't off the hook, either. On the local roads, be ready to drop the speed and maybe even come to a stop on Darby Road in Haverford Township, where bridge repair under the same initiative is squeezing traffic down to a single lane. Traffic will be flagging between Route 320 and Radnor Road from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM starting Wednesday and rolling through to the end of the week, according to PennDOT.

This isn't just any routine roadwork; it's a part of a broader effort to smooth out nearly 17 miles of commuter terrain affecting not just the interstate itself, but the on-ramps, off-ramps, and bridges in between, so while the immediate inconvenience might grate, the result should be a smoother sail for all those tires rolling across the Keystone State's highways. Safe travels, and don't forget to thank a construction worker for their moonlight hustle.
