    Construction Planned Next Week on Tacony Street in Northeast Philadelphia

    April 06, 2023
    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction is scheduled next week on Tacony Street as part of PennDOT’s $267.9 million Section BS2 project to reconstruct I-95 at the Bridge Street Interchange in Northeast Philadelphia.

    Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
    Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area or use an alternate route because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

    Three lanes of traffic will be maintained during peak hours in both directions on I-95 during BS2 construction, which is scheduled to start in early 2024. The existing northbound I-95 off-ramp to Bridge Street (Exit 27) will close permanently in early spring.

    The Section BS2 contract includes significant improvements to the interchange and its ramps, plus replacement of the expansive I-95 viaduct over Bridge Street and Tacony Street in Bridesburg.

    I-95 reconstruction currently underway in the median at the northern end of the Bridge Street Interchange, Section BS1, continues through early summer.

    For more information on PennDOT’s I-95 reconstruction program, visit www.95revive.com.
