King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that core borings are scheduled at night next week at two locations on southbound Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, September 25, through Friday, September 29, 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; and
