I-95 Night Closures Alert: Major Delays Expected!

Traffic, lane closed

PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has announced a series of nighttime lane closures on Interstate 95 in Northeast Philadelphia, scheduled to commence next week. This upcoming closure is part of the preliminary activities associated with the I-95/AF3 project, which aims to significantly enhance the infrastructure between Ann Street and Wheatsheaf Lane.

Starting on Monday, September 30, through Thursday, October 3, a right lane closure will be enforced on the northbound section of I-95 approaching the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange. These closures will take place nightly from 8:00 PM until 5:00 AM the following morning, allowing PennDOT to conduct essential survey and core boring operations. These operations are critical to the design phase of the reconstruction project, with construction anticipated to begin in 2025.

Motorists traveling through this area are advised to plan for additional travel time due to potential delays and traffic backups that may arise during the closure period. The scheduled work is subject to weather conditions, which may necessitate adjustments to the timetable.
