King of Prussia, PA - The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that lane closures are scheduled on Interstate 95 next week for painting of the new overhead ramp at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange in Northeast Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Wednesday, September 6, through Friday, September 8, from 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, two lanes will be closed on southbound I-95 between the Bridge Street and Betsy Ross Bridge interchanges.
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.
