Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) will be installed next week on the Interstate 95 Girard Point Bridge in Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Tuesday, September 2, through Friday, September 5, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on the northbound and southbound decks on the I-95 Girard Point Bridge between the Route 291 (Penrose Avenue) and Broad Street/Pattison Avenue (Exit 17) interchanges.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The work is being done as part of PennDOT’s I-95 Section GR8 project to install and update ITS equipment across regional highways.
