King of Prussia, PA - Several road and ramp closures will be in place next week at the Interstate 95/Girard Avenue Interchange in Philadelphia for demolition of a section of southbound viaduct between Palmer and Ann streets, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, November 26, and Tuesday, November 27, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, westbound Girard Avenue will be closed between Richmond Street and the Aramingo Avenue overpass. Motorists will be detoured to northbound Aramingo Avenue and follow the signs back to Girard Avenue;
  
• Monday, November 26, through Monday, December 10, Palmer Street will be closed between Delaware Avenue and Salmon Street. Motorists will be detoured to south on Delaware Avenue, right on Frankford Avenue and right on Girard Avenue; and
