Berks County - I-176 Improvements PDF Print E-mail
Work started Monday (June 9) to improve a portion of Interstate 176/Morgantown Expressway between exits 2 (South PA 10/PA23) and 10 (PA 724) in Caernarvon, Cumru, and Robeson townships and New Morgan Borough, Berks County.

Motorists can expect single lane conditions, 24 hours a day, on I-176 North and South.  Please allow extra time when traveling through the area and use caution in the work zone.

The project is designed to reconstruct the roadway and rehabilitate several bridges along Interstate 176.

Improvements to I-176 include concrete patching, shoulder reconstruction, bridge deck rehabilitation on six structures, upgrading the Exit 7 (PA 10) ramps and resurfacing the highway. The bridge deck rehabilitation will occur on the I-176 north and south bridges over PA 10, PA 568 and the Allegheny Creek, and Westley Road. Additional work includes new pavement markings, signs and guide rail installation. The total project length is 5.7 miles.

J.D. Eckman, Inc. of Atglen, Pa. is the general contractor on the $19.7 million project.
This stretch of I-176 was built in the early 1960s and has an average daily traffic of 31,897 vehicles.
The whole project is expected to be complete in November 2009.
