Girard Avenue to Close Next Week for Overpass Demolition at I-95 Interchange in Philadelphia
King of Prussia, PA — Girard Avenue will be closed between the southbound Aramingo Avenue overpass and Richmond Street at the Interstate 95 Interchange in Philadelphia on Monday, March 11, through Friday, March 15, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, for demolition of the support piers for the west half of the overpass, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
During the operation at the overpass, eastbound Girard Avenue through traffic will be detoured east on Frankford Avenue and north on Delaware Avenue to Richmond Street. Girard Avenue will remain open to local traffic between Frankford Avenue and the overpass, located just east of Susquehanna Avenue.
Northbound Richmond Street motorists heading for Girard Avenue will be directed north on Aramingo Avenue and follow the local detour signs to Girard Avenue. Southbound Richmond Street motorists heading for Girard Avenue will be detoured west on Lehigh Avenue and south on Aramingo Avenue to Girard Avenue. All scheduled activities are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
The overpass is being rebuilt a half-at-a-time. The east half of the overpass will remain open to southbound Aramingo Avenue traffic heading for southbound Delaware Avenue or to the ramp to southbound Interstate 95 at the Girard Avenue Interchange.
The bridge replacement 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.
