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

- Trenton Road over I-295 in Middletown Township.
Delaware County
- Blue Ball Avenue over I-95 in Upper Chichester Township; and
- I-476 Ramp over I-95, CSX & Crum Creek in Ridley Township.
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.
Beginning Monday, June 8, through Friday, June 12, from 6:00 PM to 6:00 AM, a lane closure will be in place 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.
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.
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.
