During this road closure, the entry and exit ramps at The Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza will be closed to all traffic. Visitors that do not exit the service plaza prior to 11:45 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 27 will have to remain in the service plaza until the work is completed and the ramps are reopened to traffic. The Peter J. Camiel Service Plaza is located on I-76 westbound at milepost 304.8 in Chester County.
