King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that core borings are scheduled at night next week on southbound Interstate 95 in the Fishtown and Northern Liberties neighborhoods in Philadelphia.
Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, October 16, through Friday, October 20, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Girard Avenue (Exit 23) and I-676 (Exit 22) interchanges.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. The work times next week will be adjusted as needed to accommodate motorists traveling to-and-from the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia.
The core boring operations are part of PennDOT's upcoming I-95/GR6 project. Section GR6 will reconstruct southbound I-95 between Frankford Avenue and the I-676/Vine Street Expressway.
