The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that bridge construction and guiderail installation are planned at night next week on Interstate 95 in Delaware County under a $73 million project to rehabilitate pavement and bridges on more than 11 miles of the interstate in Lower Chichester, Upper Chichester, Chester, Ridley and Tinicum townships, the City of Chester and Upland and Ridley Park boroughs.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, January 9, from 12:00 Midnight to 5:00 AM, a double lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the U.S. 322 (Exit 3B-A) and Chichester Avenue (Exit 1) interchanges for bridge construction;
• Monday, December January 9, through Thursday, January 12, a single lane closure will be in place from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by a double lane closure from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM on sections of northbound I-95 from just north of the U.S. 322 (Exit 4) Interchange to the Philadelphia International Airport (Exit 12) Interchange for guiderail installation; and
• Wednesday, January 11, a single lane closure will be in place from 7:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by a double lane closure from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM on northbound I-95 between the Delaware state line and the Chichester Avenue (Exit 1) Interchange for guiderail installation.

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

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.
