King of Prussia, PA - Lane closures will be in place at night next week in both directions on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia for testing of highway lighting and inspections of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) signs and devices, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. 

The work schedule is:
