In addition, alternating northbound or southbound double lane closures are scheduled on Columbus Boulevard between Spruce Street and the I-95 on-ramp in Philadelphia on Monday, May 2, through Thursday, May 5, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for core borings.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel through the work zones because delays are expected. All scheduled activities are weather permitting.
The core borings are part of advance engineering activities underway for reconstruction to cap Interstate 95 and complete other improvements in the Penn's Landing area beginning in late 2022.
The removal of the construction barriers is the start of the final construction activities to be completed over the next several weeks on mainline I-95 under the Section GR4 project to reconstruct southbound I-95 between the Allegheny Avenue and Girard Avenue interchanges and the southbound ramps at Girard Avenue. Construction of ground level improvements at the interchange will continue through Fall 2022.
