CAP Construction Scheduled on Interstate 95 North in Center City Philadelphia

PennDOT announced construction will occur at night next week on northbound I-95 in Center City Philadelphia under the $329 million I-95 CAP project to replace and expand the covered area over the interstate between Chestnut and Walnut streets.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Thursday, October 9, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., the following morning, a left lane closure will be in place on northbound I-95 between the Columbus Boulevard and I-676 interchanges. The ramp from Columbus Boulevard to northbound I-95 will also be closed and detoured. Motorists will be directed north on Columbus Boulevard to the Summer Street northbound I-95 on-ramp.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route because significant backups and delays may occur.
