PHILADELPHIA, PA — Drivers in Northeast Philadelphia should prepare for overnight detours throughout much of June as bridge construction work closes a section of Tacony Street.
At a Glance
- Roads Affected: Tacony Street, Aramingo Avenue, Harbison Avenue, Bridge Street
- Dates: Monday, June 8, through Friday, June 26
- Times: 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM
- Reason: Overhead bridge construction
PennDOT said Tacony Street will be closed nightly between Aramingo Avenue and Bridge Street beginning Monday, June 8, and continuing through Friday, June 26.
The closure will be in effect from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning to accommodate overhead bridge construction activities tied to ongoing improvements along the Interstate 95 corridor.
Northbound drivers on Tacony Street will be directed to use Aramingo Avenue/Harbison Avenue and then turn right onto Bridge Street to reconnect with Tacony Street.
Southbound motorists will be directed to turn right onto Bridge Street and then left onto Aramingo Avenue/Harbison Avenue to bypass the closure.
PennDOT said drivers should expect changing traffic patterns, reduced travel speeds, and possible backups along both the work zone and detour routes. Plan extra time for overnight travel and seek alternate routes when practical.
The work is part of PennDOT’s ongoing I-95 reconstruction project between Margaret Street and Carver Street.
All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
