PHILADELPHIA, PA — Motorists traveling south on Interstate 95 should prepare for overnight slowdowns next week as PennDOT schedules lane closures for ongoing bridge repair work through South Philadelphia.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: I-95 Southbound between Christian Street and Packer Avenue
- Dates: Monday, April 6 – Friday, April 10
- Times: 9:00 PM – 5:00 AM (overnight; single lane 9 PM–12 AM, double lane 12 AM–5 AM)
- Reason: Bridge repair and roadway construction
PennDOT said a single lane will close nightly from 9:00 PM to midnight, followed by a double lane closure from midnight through 5:00 AM, significantly reducing capacity along this stretch of I-95.
Drivers should plan extra time and expect delays, especially as traffic merges into fewer lanes overnight near Center City and the stadium district.
No detour has been announced. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternate routes where possible to avoid congestion along I-95 during overnight hours.
The work is part of a $56.1 million project to repair interstate bridges and maintain safety and mobility along one of the region’s most critical corridors.
All work is weather dependent and may be rescheduled if necessary.
