Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that core borings are scheduled at night next week on Interstate 95 in Northeast Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, June 10, through Thursday, June 13, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a right lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 between Tioga Street and the Betsy Ross Bridge.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The core borings are part of the design phase for PennDOT's upcoming I-95/AF3 project that will reconstruct northbound I-95 and its structures between Ann Street and Wheatsheaf Lane. Section AF3 is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2025.
