TINICUM TWP, PA — Drivers near the Route 291 (Industrial Highway) corridor should expect overnight delays as PennDOT continues bridge construction work at the Bartram Avenue/Scott Way intersection.
At a Glance:
- Roads Affected: Route 291 (Industrial Highway)
- Dates: Thursday, April 2 (overnight into Friday, April 3)
- Times: 9:00 PM – 6:00 AM
- Reason: Bridge replacement construction
PennDOT said lane closures with flagging will be in place in both directions between the Interstate 95 overpass and Tinicum Island Road during overnight hours. Traffic will be reduced, and drivers should expect slower travel through the work zone.
No detour is planned, but motorists should anticipate backups and intermittent delays near the I-95 interchange. Plan extra time for overnight travel or seek alternate routes to avoid congestion.
The work is part of a $26.5 million project to replace aging bridges over Conrail tracks with a wider, modern structure designed to improve traffic flow and accommodate future multimodal use.
Drivers are urged to stay alert, reduce speeds, and follow traffic control measures in the construction area.
