Schuylkill has overnight lane closures this week

Overnight lane closures are scheduled this week on the Schuylkill Expressway between the South Street and Vine Street Expressway interchanges in Philadelphia for overhead bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation said.

The westbound Schuylkill will be reduced from two lanes to one from 10 o'clock tonight to 5 a.m. tomorrow. Tomorrow and Friday, the eastbound Schuylkill will be down to one lane from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The restriction will be in place while crews remove protective shielding from the overhead Schuylkill Avenue structure.

The contractor's schedule has been adjusted so it does not impact traffic flow following the Phillies' playoff game Thursday night.

The work schedule depends on the weather.
