Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that emergency pavement repair has closed the right lane on northbound Interstate 95 just north of the Betsy Ross Bridge exit (Exit 26) in Northeast Philadelphia.
The right lane will remain closed on northbound I-95 until PennDOT’s contractor can make the necessary repairs and safely reopen the lane to traffic.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur.
