This bridge currently has a weight limit with an ALT TRUCK Route.

This bridge is about a mile from where I live and will impact access to I-95 (especially northbound) & PHL big time.

Yep, another bridgemageddon (this one of the half variety, and I'm looking at you, L.A.). Memphis had a full one last year with I-40. North Jersey had its half one with the Pulaski Skyway. The Newark, DE area is currently having a full one where Otts Chapel Rd. crosses I-95.
Philly's biggest bridgemageddon may have been 40 years ago when the Platt Bridge was closed for three years for redecking.

I'm mildly surprised they haven't considered restriping the northbound bridge to one-lane each direction for the short-term. Maybe they'll do that in the coming days. Or maybe they're afraid traffic will back up onto I-95, though I didn't get the impression traffic was that heavy to cause such a problem.

It's in the same part of Delco as the Ward Ave. bridge closure in downtown Ridley Park.

(For PA 26 at PA 45) PennDOT - District 2 News: PennDOT Gives Final Update on Route 26/45 Intersection Project

This is odd. US 30 mainline drops to one lane while the unnumbered route into the city gets two lanes.
This always got me with PennDOT with freeway bypasses at the ends. In some places the freeway starts from a default where the main route becomes the freeway and the old alignment is from an exit, then in others the existing alignment is the main body and the the through route must exit.
Plus the lack of a Business US 30 designated is another issue. As US 220 has a business route through the same city. Why designate one and not both.

Then the unusual white faced Turnpike shields, which I like, seem common in some areas over others.

^Actually, US 30 does have a business route here. It is not fully posted though.
