I-95 Lane Closures at Night Next Week for Bridge Repair in Delaware, Philadelphia Counties

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter single lane closures next week in for bridge repair under a project to perform high-priority repairs on 13 structures on I-95, Interstate 295 and Interstate 476 in Philadelphia, Bucks and Delaware counties, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule and locations are:

• Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, a single lane closure is scheduled on northbound and southbound I-95 between Naaman's Creek Road and Chichester Avenue for bridge painting on the structure that carries Blueball Avenue over the interstate in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County; and
• Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26, from 7:30 PM to 6:30 AM, a single lane closure is scheduled on northbound I-95 between FDR Park and Pattison Avenue for bridge repair on the structure that carries the interstate over Pattison Avenue in Philadelphia.

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

Work on this project will be in accordance with Centers for Disease Control and state Department of Health guidance as well as a project-specific COVID-19 safety plan, which will include protocols for social distancing, use of face coverings, personal and job-site cleaning protocols, management of entries to the jobsite, special signing, and relevant training.

Under this contract, PennDOT's contractor will make structural repairs to the following bridges:

• I-95 over Broad Street (Route 611), Ramp A and Terminal Avenue;
• I-95 over Terminal Avenue;
• I-95 over CSX Railroad;

Repairs to these 13 structures includes replacing rocker bearings, frozen sliding plate bearings and deck expansion joints; cleaning and painting steel beams; repairing substructure concrete; and reconstructing bearing pedestals.

In addition, the project includes the replacement of 24 high mast light poles along the I-95 corridor in Philadelphia and Delaware counties.

Most construction activities under this project will take place during off-peak hours. All travel lanes on I-95 must be open to traffic during the morning and afternoon rush hours. This project will also include several ramp detours when work takes place on the ramp structures. 

Driscoll Construction Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the $33.9 million project which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Construction is expected to finish in late 2023.
