Motorists using Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will encounter overnight lane

(PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Sunday, December 3, through Saturday, December 9, from 9:00 AM to 3:00

intermittent lane closures will be in place on the northbound I-95
on-and-off
ramps and the southbound off-ramp at the Cottman Avenue Interchange for
line
painting and inlet cleaning;

the
following morning, intermittent lane restrictions will be in place on the
ramp
from northbound I-95 to the Betsy Ross Bridge, and on the ramp from the
Betsy
Ross Bridge to southbound I-95 for soil borings related to upcoming
construction at the interchange; and

• Monday, December 4, through Friday, December 8, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM
the

I-95, the Betsy Ross Bridge and Aramingo Avenue. The work at the Cottman
Avenue
ramps is part of the $212 million reconstruction and widening at the
Cottman
Avenue (Route 73) Interchange.
