I-95 Ramp, Lane Closures Next Week for Lighting Improvements in Center City Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter a ramp closure at Columbus Boulevard/Lombard Circle and lane closures between the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) and Interstate 676/Callowhill (Exit 22) interchanges in Philadelphia next week for work on a project to install a new underpass lighting system in the covered section of I-95 near Dock Street, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today. All operations will take place from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning.

The work schedule is:

• Monday, November 12, and Friday, November 16, the left lane will be closed on northbound I-95 between the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) and I-676/Callowhill (Exit 22) interchanges;
  
• Monday, November 12, through Friday, November 16, the right lane will be closed on southbound I-95 between the I-676/Callowhill (Exit 22) and Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) interchanges;
  
• Tuesday, November 13, through Thursday, November 15, the right lane will be closed on northbound I-95 between the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) and I-676/Callowhill (Exit 22) interchanges; and
  
• Wednesday, November 14, the ramp from Columbus Boulevard/Lombard Circle to northbound I-95 will be closed and detoured. During construction, motorists who normally use the ramp will be directed to travel south on Columbus Boulevard and follow signs to northbound I-95.
  

Motorists are advised to use an alternate route or allow more time for travel on I-95 in the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. The contractor's schedule is weather dependent. 

In addition to installing a new underpass lighting system, PennDOT's contractor is reconstructing five pump stations in Philadelphia and Bristol Township, Bucks County. All work on this project is scheduled to be completed in December 2019.

PKF-Mark III, Inc. of Newtown, Bucks County is the general contractor on the $29,884,795 improvement project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
