King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that regional bridge repairs will continue next week on northbound Interstate 95 in Philadelphia and Delaware County under a $44.5 million bridge improvement project to perform high-priority repairs on several structures on I-95, Interstate 476 and Interstate 295 in Philadelphia, Delaware and Bucks counties.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Monday, January 23, through Wednesday, January 25, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, lane closures are planned on northbound I-95 between the Route 611 North (Exit 17) and Columbus Boulevard/Washington Avenue interchanges (Exit 20) in Philadelphia; and
- Wednesday, January 25, through Saturday, January 28, from 7:30 PM to 5:30 AM the following morning, lane closures are planned on the ramp from northbound I-95 to northbound I-476 (Exit 7) in Ridley Township, Delaware County.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Repairs to the structures under this project include replacing rocker bearings, frozen sliding plate bearings and deck expansion joints; cleaning and painting steel beams; repairing substructure concrete; and reconstructing bearing pedestals.
The project also includes the replacement of high mast light poles along the I-95 corridor in Philadelphia and Delaware counties.
Driscoll Construction Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100% federal funds.
