Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that overhead construction will close Interstate 95 South and the ramp from I-676 East to I-95 South at night next week in Center City Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Sunday, April 12, through Thursday, April 16, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, I-95 South will be closed between the I-676 Central Philadelphia/Callowhill Street (Exit 22) and Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) interchanges. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use the I-676 West ramp (Exit 22), turn left onto Callowhill Street, turn right onto Columbus Boulevard, and then use the I-95 South ramp at Water/Morris streets.
- Sunday, April 12, through Thursday, April 16, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, the ramp from I-676 East to I-95 South will be closed and detoured. During the closure, motorists will be directed to use the 6th Street ramp, turn left onto Race Street, turn right onto Columbus Boulevard, and then use the I-95 South ramp at Water/Morris streets.
The closures are necessary for PennDOT’s contractor to perform utility work and install overhead jacks and sign structures under the $329 million I-95 CAP project to replace and expand the covered area over the interstate between Chestnut and Walnut streets.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour routes because significant backups and delays may occur.
