The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that bridge construction has closed the ramp from southbound I-95 to Enterprise Avenue/Island Avenue (Exit 15) through 2027 under a $261.5 million project to rehabilitate the I-95 Girard Point Bridge in Southwest Philadelphia.
During the ramp closure, drivers will be detoured to the Bartram Avenue/Essington Avene off-ramp (Exit 14), follow Bartram Avenue, turn left onto Island Avenue, and turn left onto Enterprise Avenue.
Drivers are also advised of the following travel restrictions:
- Through Friday, July 24, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a single lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 between Enterprise Avenue and Broad Street (Route 611) for barrier placement. A double lane closure will be in place beginning at 12:00 AM Midnight.
- Wednesday, July 22, through Friday, July 24, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a single lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between Broad Street (Route 611) and Enterprise Avenue for barrier placement. A double lane closure will be in place beginning at 12:00 AM Midnight.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work areas because backups and delays will occur.
The barriers are being installed as part of a long-term construction pattern that will maintain three travel lanes during peak hours, while frequent off-peak and weekend lane restrictions will be coordinated with other regional events, including those at the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia.
Under this project, the main 5,183-foot, double-decked I-95 Girard Point Bridge and nine approach structures between Enterprise Avenue and Broad Street (Route 611) will be repaired.
