Aramingo, Girard Avenues to Close Next Week for Demolition at I-95 Interchange in Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA — Sections of Aramingo Avenue and Girard Avenue will be closed next week at the Interstate 95 Girard Avenue Interchange in Philadelphia for demolition of the southbound I-95 viaduct, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) said today.

The work schedule is:
  • Monday, December 17, through Friday, December 21, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Girard Avenue will be closed between Richmond Street and the Aramingo Avenue overpass. Local detour routes will be posted for eastbound or westbound Girard Avenue motorists; and
  • Monday, December 17, and Tuesday, December 18, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, Aramingo Avenue will be closed between Girard Avenue and Delaware Avenue. Local detour routes will be posted for eastbound and westbound Aramingo Avenue motorists. 
All scheduled activities are subject to change depending on weather conditions.

The demolition is part of the $312 million project currently underway through 2023 to replace the southbound I-95 viaduct between Palmer Street in Fishtown and Ann Street in Port Richmond, reconstruct and improve the southbound on and off-ramps at Girard Avenue, and rebuild the southbound I-95 pavement between Ann Street and Allegheny Avenue.

James J. Anderson Construction Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
