I-95 Double Lane Closure Next Week for Bridge Painting in the City of Chester

King of Prussia, PA – A double lane closure is planned on Interstate 95 in both directions between the U.S. 322 and Interstate 476 interchanges on Tuesday, July 6, through Saturday, July 17, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, for bridge painting under a project to rehabilitate eight bridges over I-95 and CSX Railroad the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling on I-95 through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.

Under this improvement project, PennDOT is rehabilitating the multi-span, steel girder bridges on Potter Street, Madison Street, Upland Street, Melrose Avenue, Chestnut Street, Edgmont Avenue, and the Crosby Street and Walnut Street pedestrian structures. The contractor is also improving the I-95 south exit ramp at Chestnut Street.

In addition to the bridge and ramp improvements, PennDOT's contractor is repairing Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue from 12th Street to 4th Street; reconstructing curbs and sidewalks; milling and resurfacing the streets; installing a new traffic signal at Chestnut Street and Morton Avenue; upgrading the traffic signal at Morton Avenue and 7th Street; and reconstructing Morton Avenue from 7th Street to 4th Street to lower the road under the Amtrak overpass to increase vertical clearance.
