    • Monday, October 26, through Friday, October 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the ramp from I-95 to Linden Avenue will be closed and detoured. During the closure, drivers will be directed to exit at Academy Road and Linden Avenue, use the left lane to Academy Road, and turn left onto Torresdale Avenue to access Linden Avenue.
    • Monday, October 26, through Friday, October 30, from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, a right lane closure will be in place on the ramp from Route 63 (Woodhaven Road) to Thornton Road.
