Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that concrete barrier removal will occur at night next week on I-95 South in Northeast Philadelphia under the $355.3 million I-95/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 restriction:
- Thursday, April 16, and Friday, April 17, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Cottman Avenue (Route 73) and Allegheny Avenue interchanges.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near or through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
