Motorists will be directed to continue south on I-95 to the Girard Avenue Interchange (Exit 23), turn left onto Aramingo Avenue, then left onto Delaware Avenue (Richmond Street), and use the I-95 North on-ramp at Schirra Drive to return to the Aramingo Avenue/Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange.

Drivers should expect delays on both southbound and northbound I-95 as traffic is rerouted. Plan extra time, especially during overnight travel, and consider alternate routes if possible.

All work is weather dependent and part of a $355.3 million project to reconstruct sections of I-95 in Northeast Philadelphia.
