King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that regional bridge and guiderail repairs will continue next week on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia and Delaware counties.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, February 20, through Friday, February 24, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, lane closures will be in place on the ramp from Aramingo Avenue to southbound I-95 between the Bridge Street/Harbison Avenue (Exit 27) and Betsy Ross Bridge (Exit 26) interchanges in Philadelphia for expansion joint repair; and
- Monday, February 20, through Thursday, February 23, a single lane closure will be in place from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by a double lane closure from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM on northbound and southbound I-95 from just south of the Route 420 South Interchange (Exit 9A) to just south of the Interstate 476 Interchange (Exit 7) in Delaware County for guiderail repair and inlet cleaning.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The expansion joint repair is part of a $44.6 million project to perform high-priority repairs on several structures on I-95, Interstate 476 and Interstate 295 in Philadelphia, Delaware and Bucks counties.
The guiderail repair and inlet cleaning are part of an $80.6 million project to rehabilitate pavement and several bridges on more than 11 miles of I-95 in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley Park boroughs.
