    Philadelphia, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will close southbound Interstate 95 along with the ramp from eastbound I-676 for approximately six weeks beginning Sunday, June 8, for placement of deck beams for the new concrete covering over the interstate under the $329 million I-95 CAP project in Center City Philadelphia.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

    • Tuesday, June 3, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, southbound I-95, and the ramp from eastbound I-676 to southbound I-95 will close between I-676 and the on-ramp from Columbus Boulevard at E. Morris/Water Street for prep work and equipment mobilization.
    • Sundays through Thursdays, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, beginning Sunday, June 8, through approximately Friday, July 18 – excluding the Independence Day weekend -- southbound I-95 will close along with the ramp from eastbound I-676 and the inside/left lane on northbound I-95 between Spruce Street and Market Street.

    During the closures, motorists heading south on I-95 will be directed to use the I-676 Interchange, turn left onto Callowhill Street, and turn right onto Columbus Boulevard to access the ramp to southbound I-95 at E. Morris Street/Water Street.

    Motorists travelling east on I-676 heading for southbound I-95 will be directed to exit at 6th Street, turn left onto Race Street, and turn right onto southbound Columbus Boulevard to access southbound I-95 at E. Morris Street/Water Street.
