Traffic, lane closed

PHILADELPHIA, PA — Southbound Tacony Street has been reduced to one lane between Bridge Street and Van Kirk Street through late 2027, creating a long-term traffic restriction for drivers in Northeast Philadelphia.

At a Glance

  • Roads Affected: Southbound Tacony Street between Bridge Street and Van Kirk Street
  • Dates: Now through late 2027
  • Times: 24 hours a day
  • Reason: I-95 bridge reconstruction, retaining wall construction, and highway widening

Drivers should plan extra time when traveling through the construction area because backups and delays are expected. Seek alternate routes when possible, particularly during peak travel periods.

The restriction allows crews to demolish and reconstruct I-95 structures alongside Tacony Street and build a retaining wall supporting the widening of northbound I-95.

The work is part of PennDOT’s I-95/BS2 project, which will reconstruct the interstate in both directions between Margaret Street and Carver Street.
