I-95, I-295 Overnight Lane Closures Next Week for Construction in Bucks County

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 and Interstate 295 motorists will encounter double lane closures in both directions next week between the Academy Road and Route 413 (Bristol) interchanges for construction activities on a project to repair and resurface 13 miles of I-95 and I-295 in Bensalem, Bristol, Middletown and Lower Makefield townships, Bucks County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, October 1, through Friday, October 5, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, northbound I-95 and eastbound I-295 between the Route 132 (Street Road) and Route 413 (Bristol) interchanges for paving; 
  
• Monday, October 1, through Friday, October 5, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, northbound I-95 between the Academy Road and Route 132 (Street Road) interchanges for joint sealing; and
  
• Monday, October 1, through Friday, October 5, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, westbound I-295 and southbound I-95 between the Route 413 (Bristol) and Academy Road interchanges for subbase installation.
  

In addition, single lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound I-95 between Academy Road and the Pennsylvania Turnpike interchanges on Monday, October 1, through Thursday, October 4, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for guide rail installation.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling on I-95 and I-295 in the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. The contractor's schedule is weather dependent.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is milling, overlaying and rehabilitating existing pavement; performing base repairs; installing new guide rail; repairing or replacing damaged traffic signs; performing minor bridge deck repairs; and installing rumble strips and delineators along the I-95 and I-295 corridor in Bucks County. The entire project is scheduled to be completed this fall.

James J. Anderson Construction Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $29,633,134 project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
