I-95 Continuous Lane Closures Begin Next Week for Construction in Delaware County

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter continuous single lane closures in both directions next week between the U.S. 322 Interchange and the Delaware state line for construction activities under a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair 15 structures on more than 11 miles of Interstate 95 in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley boroughs, Delaware County, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Normal highway and bridge construction projects in Pennsylvania remain paused as part of the commonwealth's efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. This project is part of critical work that continues statewide addressing safety needs and work needed to eliminate roadway restrictions that could impede the ability for the movement of life sustaining goods and services.

The work schedule is:

• From 7:00 AM Tuesday, April 28, through 3:00 PM Saturday, May 9, a continuous lane closure is scheduled on northbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the U.S. 322 Interchange; and
• From 7:00 AM Thursday, April 30, through 4:00 PM Friday, May 1, a continuous lane closure is scheduled on southbound I-95 between the U.S. 322 Interchange and the Delaware state line.

I-95 motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will mill, overlay and rehabilitate the existing concrete pavement including 41 ramps; perform minor structural repairs to 15 of the 33 bridges located in the project limits; repair sections of median barrier; upgrade guide rail; install new pavement markings, delineators and rumble strips; repair and clean existing inlets and pipes; and replace damaged or missing traffic signs. The Pennsylvania Welcome Center just north of the Delaware state line also will be improved with concrete base repairs and new parking stripes, pavement markings and signs.

Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $68,378,777 project which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to be completed in late 2023.
