    Roadway Construction Scheduled at Night Next Week on I-95 in Delaware County

    October 12, 2023

    King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction will occur at night next week on Interstate 95 in Delaware County under an $80.6 million project to rehabilitate pavement and several bridges on more than 11 miles of the interstate in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley Park boroughs.

    Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:

    • Monday, October 16, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, a right lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 from the Delaware state line to the Kerlin Street (Exit 5) Interchange for sign installation;
    • Tuesday, October 17, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, a right lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 between the Kerlin Street (Exit 5) and Route 291 East (Exit 10) interchanges for sign installation; and
    • Wednesday, October 18, through Friday, October 20, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, moving lane closures will be in place on sections of northbound and southbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the Philadelphia International Airport Interchange (Exit 12) for final construction activities.

    Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because significant backups and delays will occur. The work times will be adjusted as needed next week to accommodate traffic traveling to-and-from the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia.

    Under this project, PennDOT's contractor will mill, overlay and rehabilitate the existing concrete pavement including 41 ramps; perform minor structural repairs to 15 of the 33 bridges located in the project limits; repair sections of median barrier; upgrade guide rail; install new pavement markings, delineators and rumble strips; repair and clean existing inlets and pipes; and replace damaged or missing traffic signs. The Pennsylvania Welcome Center just north of the Delaware state line also will be improved with concrete base repairs and new parking stripes, pavement markings and signs.

    Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
