King of Prussia PA – Lane closures are scheduled on a westbound Interstate 76 on-ramp in Philadelphia and on U.S. 202 in Chester County for bridge inspections, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedules and locations are:

• Tuesday, April 20, and Thursday, April 22, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, alternating lane closures are scheduled on the ramp from University Avenue  to westbound I-76 in Philadelphia; and
