I-95 motorists will face travel restrictions at night next week at the Cottman Avenue (Route 73) and Girard Avenue interchanges for road and bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced.
The operations, which are weather dependent, are associated with construction taking place to rebuild the Cottman Avenue (Route 73) and Girard Avenue interchanges, and reconstruct and widen more than three miles of I-95 adjoining the interchanges.
Now through Saturday, November 7, I-95 north will be reduced from three lanes to two between the Bridge Street and Cottman Avenue (Route 73) interchanges from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for the placement of bridge beams.
During this operation, the Princeton Avenue on-ramp to I-95 north will be closed each night from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM. Motorists normally using the ramp will be detoured north on State Road, left on Linden Avenue, then right at the ramp to I-95 north at the Academy Road Interchange.
Now through Saturday, November 7, the I-95 north off-ramp to Cottman Avenue (Route 73) will be closed from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning for pipe work. Motorists will be detoured north on I-95 to the exit at the Academy Road Interchange, then right on Linden Avenue, and right on State Road to Cottman Avenue (Route 73).
