The bridge deck repair, inlet top replacement and tree clearing operations are part of a $63.7 million project to resurface, repair and improve nearly 17 miles of the interstate from Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) in West Conshohocken Borough, Montgomery County, to Interstate 95 in Ridley Township, Delaware County.
The remaining operations are part of a $16.2 million project to improve travel and safety on MacDade Boulevard and at the northbound I-476 and MacDade Boulevard Interchange in Ridley Township.
