I-95 Bridge Construction to Cause Delays in Philadelphia

Motorists traveling south on Interstate 95 between Christian and Wolf Streets will be limited to a single lane beginning at 9 p.m. Thursday officials said.

A double lane closure will start at midnight and continue through 5 a.m. Officials say delays and backups are anticipated due to the work.

The bridge repair work is part of a $37.4M project to perform high-priority repairs on 27 I-95 bridges in Philadelphia, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

Along with the repairs, officials say 11 overhead steel sign structures will be cleaned and repainted, and roadway lighting will be upgraded to LED lights.

The project is expected to be completed in 2027.
