    Construction to Close Interstate 95 South Ramp to Aramingo Avenue Next Thursday Night in Northeast Philadelphia

    March 20, 2026

    Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will close the ramp from I-95 South to Aramingo Avenue (Exit 26) at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange on Thursday night, March 26, in Northeast Philadelphia.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

    • Thursday, March 26, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 A M the following morning, the ramp from I-95 South to Aramingo Avenue at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange will be closed and detoured.

    During the ramp closure, motorists will be directed to use the Girard Avenue Interchange (Exit 23), turn left onto Aramingo Avenue, turn left onto Delaware Avenue/Richmond Street, and then take the I-95 North on-ramp at Schirra Drive to access the Aramingo Avenue/Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange.

    All scheduled activities are weather permitting. Motorists are advised to allow extra time for traveling on northbound I-95 because backups and delays will occur.

    The work is part of PennDOT’s $355.3 million I-95/BR3 project that will reconstruct northbound I-95 between Wheatsheaf Lane and Margaret Street.

    Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,200 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
