DELAWARE COUNTY, PA — The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that roadway construction is scheduled at night next week on southbound Interstate 95 in Delaware County under an $80.6 million project to rehabilitate pavement and several bridges on more than 11 miles of the interstate in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley Park boroughs.
The work schedule and location are:
- Monday, August 28, through Thursday, August 31, a single lane closure will be in place from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by a double lane closure from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM on sections of southbound I-95 between the Delaware State line and the Route 291/Bartram Avenue (Exit 10) Interchange.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent and subject to change.
Under this project, PennDOT will improve the existing concrete pavement, ramps, bridges, median barrier, guide rail, and traffic signs. Additionally, the Pennsylvania Welcome Center near the Delaware state line will undergo improvements.
Allan A. Myers, Inc. of Worcester, Montgomery County is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funds.
