Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The bridge repair, diamond grinding and line striping are part of PennDOT's $37.4 million project to perform high-priority repairs on 27 I-95 bridges in the City, to maintain the functionality, safety, and mobility of the structures along this critical corridor.

The surveying operations are part of the design phase for PennDOT's upcoming I-95/GR6 project that will reconstruct southbound I-95 and its ramps between Race Street and Frankford Avenue. Section GR6 is tentatively scheduled for construction in late 2025.

The core borings are part of the design phase for PennDOT's upcoming I-95/AF3 project that will reconstruct northbound I-95 and its structures between Ann Street and Wheatsheaf Lane. Section AF3 is tentatively scheduled for construction in 2025.
