Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge deck repair and barrier installation are planned at night next week on I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, October 13, through Friday, October 17, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on northbound and southbound I-95 between the Allegheny Avenue and Cottman Avenue (Route 73) interchanges.
Motorists are advised to use alternate routes or allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The work is part of PennDOT’s $355.3 million I-95/BR3 project to widen and reconstruct northbound I-95 between Wheatsheaf Lane to just north of Margaret Street.
