I-95 South Lane Closure at Night Next Week for Viaduct Construction at Girard Avenue in Philadelphia

King of Prussia, PA – Southbound Interstate 95 will be reduced from three lanes-to-two on Monday, September 30, through Thursday, October 3, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for viaduct construction between the Girard Avenue and Interstate 676 interchanges in Philadelphia, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Crews will be closing the southbound right lane for placement of concrete for the parapet wall on a section of the new southbound I-95 viaduct that is being replaced under PennDOT's $312 million project to rebuild southbound I-95 at the Girard Avenue Interchange.

The Girard Avenue ramp to southbound I-95 will remain open during the parapet construction operation. The southbound off-ramp at Girard Avenue remains closed for reconstruction until mid-2021.

In addition, Lehigh Avenue will be closed and detoured between Salmon Street and Richmond Street on Monday, September 30, through Friday, October 4, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM for demolition of the overhead viaduct. Eastbound Lehigh Avenue traffic will be directed south on Aramingo Avenue, and east on Cumberland Street to Richmond Street. Westbound Lehigh Avenue traffic will be directed west on Cumberland Street and north on Aramingo Avenue.

If demolition activities at Lehigh Avenue are completed by Thursday, October 3, northbound Aramingo Avenue also will be closed and detoured between Delaware Avenue/Richmond Street and York Street on Friday, October 4, from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM for additional viaduct demolition. Traffic will be detoured north on Richmond Street and west on Cumberland Street to Aramingo Avenue.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
