King of Prussia, PA – Interstate 95 motorists will encounter single and double lane closures in both directions at several locations in Philadelphia and Delaware counties for various construction activities under three separate improvement projects, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The work schedule and locations are:

Philadelphia:

• Monday, July 12, and Tuesday, July 13, from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM the following morning, southbound I-95 motorists will encounter a single lane closure between Market Street and 26th Street for bridge repair; and
• Thursday, July 15, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, southbound I-95 will be reduced from three lanes-to-two in the work zone between the Allegheny Avenue and Girard Avenue interchanges for barrier construction. I-95 motorists using the Allegheny Avenue ramp to southbound I-95 will be required to stop before entering I-95 due to a reduced merge lane during the barrier construction operation. If weather causes cancellation of Thursday’s planned operation, the work and resultant lane closure will take place on Friday, July 16, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
