    Philadelphia, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway construction will close the ramp from Columbus Boulevard to Interstate 95 North and I-676/Callowhill Street on Thursday morning, December 11, in Center City Philadelphia.

    Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
