The overhead ramp is being replaced as part of the ongoing I-95 ramp replacement project at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange.
The bridge construction is part of the reconstruction of I-95 at the northern end of the Bridge Street Interchange.

The bridge painting is part of a project to rehabilitate eight bridges over I-95 and CSX Railroad in the City of Chester, Delaware County.
