Crews will work throughout the upcoming weekend to place a new 300-foot long, 24-inch wide steel drainage pipe into the ground alongside I-76’s westbound right travel lane. They also will reinforce a deteriorated pipe located underneath the westbound pavement. The work area is located between the I-76 bridge over Matsonford Road and the Gulph Mills exit ramp. 

PennDOT advises motorists to use an alternate route or allow additional time to travel west on I-76 this weekend because backups and delays will occur. The project is also dependent on the weather. 

On Saturday, April 27 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the tree-lined streets of historic Kennett Square will be colorfully decked out in local artwork and fine crafts.  Looking to spruce up your garden?  Support the Kennett Beautification Committee at the plant and flower sale.  

Local high school art students will also be selling the best of their own work to raise money.

The closure of Richmond Street will begin at 10 p.m. Friday (April 5) and crews will work throughout the weekend to remove the deck and steel beams from the overhead bridge located near Lehigh Avenue. The work is scheduled to wrap up by 5 a.m. Monday (4/8).

During construction, drivers will be detoured over Lehigh Avenue, Aramingo Avenue and Allegheny Avenue. Motorists north of the bridge will continue to have access to Richmond Street between Allegheny Avenue and Somerset Street.

A second bridge over Richmond Street, which is located near the intersection of Somerset Street, is tentatively scheduled to be removed the weekend of April 12-15. This operation also will require a weekend closure of Richmond Street.

PennDOT is removing the two overhead Conrail spans and replacing them with four smaller bridges as part of its ongoing $91.3 million improvement project, which is the second of six stages of PennDOT’s I-95 Girard Avenue Improvement Project. In addition to replacing overhead bridges, crews are relocating, reconstructing and widening Richmond Street; relocating and upgrading numerous utilities; and replacing the Girard Avenue bridge over Aramingo Avenue.
