I-95 Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Construction on Four Improvement Projects in Philadelphia, Delaware Counties

King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter single and double lane closures in both directions at several locations in Philadelphia and Delaware counties for various construction activities under four separate improvement projects, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule and locations are:

Philadelphia:

• Monday, June 28, through Thursday, July 1, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, two southbound lanes will be closed at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange for installation of deck beams and underside shielding on the overhead ramp from the bridge to southbound I-95. Traffic on southbound I-95 and traffic using the southbound I-95 ramp to the bridge will be stopped periodically for up to 15 minutes during the operation; and
• Thursday, July 1, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, southbound Interstate 95 will be reduced from three lanes-to-two in the work zone between the Allegheny Avenue and Girard Avenue interchanges for barrier construction.

Delaware County:

• Monday, June 28, through Thursday, July 1, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM and from 5:00 AM to 6:00 AM, a single lane closure will be in place on northbound and southbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the Edgmont Avenue Interchange (Exit 6) for pavement repair;
• Monday, June 28, through Thursday, July 1, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a double lane closure will be in place on northbound and southbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the Edgmont Avenue Interchange (Exit 6) for pavement repair;

• Friday, July 2, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a double lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the Edgmont Avenue Interchange (Exit 6) for pavement repair.

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.

Work on these operations 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 overhead ramp is being replaced as part of the ongoing $93.6 million I-95 ramp replacement project at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange. 

The barrier construction is part of the $312 million project currently underway through 2023 to reconstruct southbound I-95 between the Allegheny Avenue and Girard Avenue interchanges.

The pavement repair is part of a project to rehabilitate pavement and repair 15 structures on more than 11 miles of the interstate in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley Park boroughs, Delaware County.

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.
