King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that core borings and shoulder construction are scheduled next week on Interstate 95 in Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Sunday, June 11, through Wednesday, June 14, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on the southbound I-95 ramp to westbound I-676 (Exit 22) for core borings;
- Monday, June 12, through Friday, June 16, from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, alternating lane closures will be in place on I-95 in both directions between the Bridge Street and Allegheny/Castor Avenue interchanges (Exits 25, 26, 27) for core borings; and
- Monday, June 12, through Friday, June 16, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a right lane closure is planned on northbound I-95 between South Street and Market Street for shoulder construction.
Motorists are advised to allow extra time for travel through the work areas. The schedule is weather dependent.
The core borings are for PennDOT's upcoming I-95/GR6 project, and I-95/BR3 project, both scheduled to begin in 2024. Section GR6 will reconstruct I-95 between Frankford Avenue and the Vine Street Expressway Interchange. Section BR3 will reconstruct the northbound lanes of I-95 from Wheatsheaf Lane to just north of Margaret Street.
The shoulder construction is part of early-stage construction activities on mainline I-95 in advance of demolition and construction on the overhead covered area between Walnut Street and Chestnut Street under PennDOT's $329 million I-95/CAP project.
