I-95 North Overnight Lane Closure Planned for Several Weeks for Lighting
Installation in Center City Philadelphia

5/7/2018-KING OF PRUSSIA

Northbound Interstate 95 motorists will encounter a right lane and shoulder

closure from just north of the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit
20)
Interchange to just south of the Interstate 676/Callowhill (Exit 22)
Interchange in Philadelphia beginning Monday night, May 14, for lighting
installation, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT)
announced
today. The right lane and shoulder closure will be in place Mondays through

Fridays from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning through the end of
June.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling on northbound I-95

near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled
activities are weather dependent.

The work is part of a PennDOT project to install a new underpass lighting
system in the covered section of I-95 near Dock Street and reconstruct five

pump stations in Philadelphia and Bristol Township, Bucks County. All work
is
scheduled to be completed by December 2019.

PKF-Mark III, Inc. of Newtown, Bucks County is the general contractor on
the
$10,986,295 improvement project which is financed with 100 percent federal
funds.
