Importance: High
The Pennsylvania Turnpike reports that motorists traveling on PA I-476 will be stopped for a maximum of 20-minutes on Monday, Nov. 23 and Tuesday, Nov. 24 between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Motorists traveling northbound approaching the Lehigh Tunnel and southbound before the Mahoning Valley Interchange should be prepared for slow moving and stopped traffic.
The stoppage, scheduled for noon, will allow the safe demolition of the rock slope adjacent to the Lehigh River Bridge. State Police will stop northbound traffic south of the Lehigh Tunnel (milepost A70.1), southbound traffic north of the Mahoning Valley (Exit #74) Interchange, and motorists entering I-476 at the Interchange from Route 209 will be stopped at the toll plaza.
The work is weather permitting and safety related. Unsafe conditions could cause the stoppage to be delayed for the protection of the traveling public and workers on the project.
Travel advisories will be posted on the project website at www.lehighbridge.com and the Highway Advisory Radio (1640 am) will be activated to provide travel updates.
Motorists are urged to stay alert for slow moving traffic and use extra caution when approaching and entering construction zones and obey posted speed limits. Speed limits will be enforced and fines increased.
