- Monday, June 22, through Friday, June 26, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, alternating northbound or southbound lane closures will be in place on I-95 at the Columbus Boulevard interchange for surveying.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel through the work areas. All scheduled activities are weather permitting.
Work on these projects 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 signage and relevant training.
The work at Bridge Street, Section BS1, is the first of two contracts to reconstruct mainline I-95 and the Bridge Street Interchange. The H&K Group, Inc. of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the $79,721,368 project, which is being funded by 100 percent federal funds.
The work at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange, Section BR2, is the second of five contracts to improve the interchange's ramps and reconstruct mainline I-95 at the interchange. Buckley & Company, Inc, of Philadelphia, is the general contractor on the $93.6 million Section BR2 project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds.
The surveying is being done as part of the advance engineering underway for future construction to cover I-95 and complete other I-95 improvements in the Penn's Landing area (I-95, Section CAP).
