I-95 North Night Lane Closures this Week for Expansion Joint Repairs

Multiple overnight lane closures will be in place this week for expansion
joint
repairs on Interstate 95 north at the Girard Avenue Interchange in
Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said
today.

On Tuesday, August 23, through Thursday August 25, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the
following morning, I-95 north will be reduced from three through lanes to
one
between the Girard Avenue and Allegheny Avenue interchanges. Crews will be
making permanent repairs to an expansion joint on the northbound viaduct
over
Lehigh Avenue. The expansion joint allows sections of concrete pavement to
expand or contract safely during extreme heat (expand) or cold (contract).

Construction crews building the new I-95 north viaduct at the Girard Avenue

Interchange will complete repairs or replacement of the joint. PennDOT
maintenance forces will provide traffic control during the operation.

Drivers are advised to avoid I-95 north through the work zone, or allow
extra
time for travel in the area. All scheduled activities are weather
dependent.
