The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that shoulder excavation is planned at night next week on southbound I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, September 8, through Friday, September 12, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Betsy Ross Bridge and Allegheny Avenue interchanges.
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 work is part of PennDOT’s $355.3 million I-95/BR3 project to widen and reconstruct northbound I-95 between Wheatsheaf Lane to just north of Margaret Street.
