Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that overhead sign installation and upgrades to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment will restrict northbound I-95 at night next week in Center City Philadelphia. The work is part of the $329 million I-95 CAP project to replace and expand the covered area over the interstate between Chestnut and Walnut streets.
Drivers are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Tuesday, October 27, through Thursday, October 29, from 11:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on northbound I-95 between the Walt Whitman Bridge/Packer Avenue (Exit 19) and Washington Avenue/Columbus Boulevard (Exit 20) interchanges.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays may occur.
