PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA — The Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike will shut down overnight early Sunday morning as road work gets underway.

The work includes pavement markings as travel lanes are reconfigured, and all-electronic tolling is installed at the interchange, according to PennDOT.

For those heading west on I-276, the closure will extend to the Exit 20 westbound ramp to I-476 south. Motorists there will also be directed to the Norristown Interchange to continue to I-476 SOUTH.

State Police and Turnpike personnel will be at the closure locations to help drivers.
