Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that pavement restoration will occur next week on Interstate 95 in Bucks County and Route 63 (Woodhaven Road) in Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Wednesday, May 29, through Friday, May 31, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, a right lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Route 132 (Street Road) overpass and the Route 63 (Woodhaven Road) Interchange in Bensalem Township, Bucks County.
- Wednesday, May 29, through Friday, May 31, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, a right lane closure will be in place on eastbound Route 63 (Woodhaven Road) between the Thornton Road and Academy Road underpasses in Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
The pavement restoration work is part of a $24.1 million project to upgrade and improve Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) components across the Philadelphia region. The ITS equipment will be used by PennDOT's Regional Traffic Management Center (RTMC) to monitor travel conditions and provide motorists with real-time information about area highways.
