Wolf Administration Announces Major Improvement Project to Begin to Repair
and Resurface 13 Miles of I-95 in Bucks County

6/28/2017-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Wolf Administration announced today that preliminary operations are
scheduled to begin next week on a major improvement project to repair and
resurface 13 miles of Interstate 95 from the Philadelphia County line to
the
Yardley Newtown Interchange in Bensalem, Bristol, Middletown and Lower
Makefield townships, Bucks County. The entire project is scheduled to be
completed in fall 2018.

"The much-needed repair and resurfacing of I-95 in Bucks County will
positively
impact the tens of thousands of motorists who rely on this interstate for
their
everyday commute," Governor Tom Wolf said. "Once completed, the new riding
surface will greatly enhance travel and safety along this critical
corridor."

Under this improvement project, PennDOT will mill, overlay and rehabilitate

existing pavement; perform base repairs; install new guide rail; repair or
replace damaged traffic signs; perform minor bridge deck repairs; and
install
rumble strips and delineators along the I-95 corridor.

Prior to resurfacing and bridge deck repair operations, PennDOT's
contractor
will begin preliminary daytime work on I-95 between New Falls Road and the
Yardley Newtown Interchange before overnight work begins on Wednesday, July
12.
The upcoming work schedule is:

• Thursday, July 6, and Friday, July 7, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
intermittent
lane closures are scheduled on northbound I-95 between New Falls Road and
the
Yardley Newtown Interchange for survey operations;
• Monday, July 10, and Tuesday, July 11, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM,
intermittent
lane closures are scheduled on southbound I-95 between the Yardley Newtown
Interchange and New Falls Road for survey operations; and
• Wednesday, July 12, through Friday, July 14, and Sunday, July 16, through

Friday, July 21, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, single lane

closures are scheduled on northbound I-95 at the U.S. 1 Interchange for
bridge
deck repair.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling on I-95 in the
work
areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are
weather dependent.

contractor on the $29,633,134 project, which is financed with 80 percent
