I-95 South Exit Ramp to Aramingo Avenue at Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange to
Close September 21 for Reconstruction

9/7/2016-KING OF PRUSSIA

The Interstate 95 south exit ramp to Aramingo Avenue at the Betsy Ross
Bridge
Interchange in Philadelphia will close Wednesday evening, September 21, for

nine months for reconstruction, the Pennsylvania Department of
transportation
announced today.

The ramp reconstruction is part of the $160.2 million contract — the first
of
four contracts planned for the I-95/Betsy Ross Bridge/Aramingo Avenue
Interchange — that is currently underway to improve the ramp system at the
interchange.

The southbound I-95 exit ramp will close September 21 at approximately 8:00
PM.
The rebuilt ramp is scheduled to open in June 2017.

I-95 south motorists normally using this exit ramp will be directed to exit
at
Bridge Street and follow signs to Aramingo Avenue. An alternate detour will
be
for drivers to remain on I-95 south and exit at the Allegheny Avenue
off-ramp,
then turn left on Allegheny Avenue, left on Delaware Avenue, and left on
Castor
Avenue to return to Aramingo Avenue.

The joint venture of Driscoll Construction Company, Inc. of Blue Bell, Pa.
and
Richard E. Pierson Construction Company, Inc. of Woodstown, N.J. is the
general
contractor on the $160,296,564 project. The transportation improvement
project
is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Construction is expected to be
completed in fall 2017.

conditioning.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of fluids... stay in an air-conditioned
room... stay out of the sun... and check up on relatives and
neighbors.

Take extra precautions... if you work or spend time outside. When
possible... reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible
and drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work... the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency... call 9 1 1.
