I-95 Single, Double Lane Closures Scheduled Next Week for Construction in Delaware County
King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter single and double lane closures in both directions next week at several locations between the Delaware state line and Route 352/320 (Edgmont Avenue) interchanges for various construction activities under 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 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.
The work schedule is:
- Monday, December 13, through Thursday, December 16, 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 in sections on northbound and southbound I-95; and
- Monday, December 13, through Thursday, December 16, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a double lane closure will be in place in sections on northbound and southbound I-95.
In addition, the ramp from Chestnut Street to northbound Interstate 95 in the City of Chester will be closed and detoured on Monday, December 13, through Thursday, December 16, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for widening. During the closure, motorist will be directed to use U.S. 13 (Morton Avenue/Chester Pike) and turn right on Stewart Avenue to access the ramp to northbound I-95.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will mill, overlay and rehabilitate the existing concrete pavement including 41 ramps; perform minor structural repairs to 15 of the 33 bridges located in the project limits; repair sections of median barrier; upgrade guide rail; install new pavement markings, delineators and rumble strips; repair and clean existing inlets and pipes; and replace damaged or missing traffic signs. The Pennsylvania Welcome Center just north of the Delaware state line also will be improved with concrete base repairs and new parking stripes, pavement markings and signs.
Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the $68.4 million project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds. The entire project is expected to be completed in late 2023.
