Philadelphia, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that barrier removal and line striping operations will close northbound I-95 in Center City Philadelphia beginning Monday night, December 1.
Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, December 1, through Thursday, December 4, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, northbound I-95 will be closed and detoured from the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard exit (Exit 20) to just north of the Central Philadelphia/Callowhill Street exit (Exit 22).
During the overnight closure, motorists will be directed to use the Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard exit and turn left onto Columbus Boulevard to access the ramp to northbound I-95 at Summer Street.
Motorists are advised to use alternate route or allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route because significant backups and delays may occur.
The work is part of PennDOT’s $329 million I-95 CAP project to replace and expand the covered area over the interstate between Chestnut and Walnut streets.
