Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge deck repair will occur at night next week on southbound I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia under the $355.3 million I-95 Section BR3 project to widen and reconstruct northbound I-95 between Wheatsheaf Lane to just north of Margaret Street.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, December 8, through Friday, December 12, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Cottman Avenue (Route 73) and Allegheny Avenue interchanges.
Drivers will be directed to exit to Aramingo Avenue at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange, turn right onto Aramingo Avenue, turn right onto Adams Avenue, and turn right onto the ramp to I-95 South.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
