The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that construction surveying will continue at night next week on the $261.5 million, two-phase project to rehabilitate and improve the Interstate 95 Girard Point Bridge in Southwest Philadelphia.
Weather permitting, motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:
- Monday, March 2, through Friday, March 13, from 9:00 PM 12:00 AM, a single lane closure will be in place on weekdays in either northbound or southbound I-95 between Broad Street (Route 611) and Enterprise Avenue. A second lane will close each night from Midnight to 5:00 AM in the direction where work is taking place.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur.
Once construction starts later this winter, PennDOT will maintain three lanes of traffic in each direction on I-95. To accommodate travelers to the FIFA World Cup and the MLB All-Star game, PennDOT will work to minimize traffic impacts until these events are completed. In late July 2026, long-term construction patterns maintaining three travel lanes during peak hours will be installed, while frequent off-peak and weekend lane restrictions will be coordinated with other regional events, including those at the Sports Complex in South Philadelphia.
