Ross
Bridge/Aramingo Avenue Interchange as crews reset barriers and paint
traffic
lines in preparation for shifting traffic onto the new ramp that has been
constructed from I-95 south to the Betsy Ross Bridge. Intermittent 15
minute
stoppages of both lanes may also occur on Thursday and Monday nights;

• On Sunday, August 7, through Friday, August 12, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM

the
following morning, the I-95 north off-ramp to Cottman Avenue (Route 73)
will be
closed for paving on the northbound side of I-95. Motorists will be
detoured

In addition, on Monday, August 8, through Friday, August 12, from 9:00 PM
