Route 1 southbound ramp to Schuylkill Expressway reopened for traffic ahead of schedule
PHILADELPHIA - The U.S. 1 South (Roosevelt Expressway) ramp to westbound Interstate 76 (Schuylkill Expressway) and City Avenue has been reopened, PennDOT announced Friday night.
The ramp was shutdown Tuesday following an accident which caused structural damage to the ramp bridge.
Crews began repairs to the ramp immediately following the cleanup of the accident and, initially, PennDOT did not have a definite date to reopen. By Thursday, they estimated the reopening for Saturday evening.
