    October 30, 2026

    Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will occur on northbound Interstate 95 and a section of Tacony Street in Northeast Philadelphia.

    Drivers are advised of the following travel restrictions:

    During the Tacony Street closure, northbound Tacony Street motorists will be directed to use Aramingo/Harbison Avenue, turn right onto James Street, and turn right onto Bridge Street to access Tacony Street. Southbound motorists will be directed to turn right onto Bridge Street, turn left onto James Street, and turn left onto Aramingo/Harbison Avenue to access Tacony Street.

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near or through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    The inlet repairs are part of the $311 million I-95/AF3 project to reconstruct and widen 1.3 miles of I-95 between Tioga Street and Wheatsheaf Lane. The work on Tacony Street is part of PennDOT’s ongoing $267.9 million I-95/BS2 project that will reconstruct I-95 in both directions between Margaret Street and Carver Street.
