Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that paving 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 restrictions:
- Sunday, December 21, from 7:00 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.
- Monday, December 22, 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.
Motorists are reminded that the ramp from Aramingo Avenue at the Bridge Street Interchange to I-95 south remains closed until late December for ramp construction. The reopening had been planned for mid-December, but recent weather has caused delays.
