Construction to Close Tacony Street Weeknights Through Mid-July, PennDOT Says

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that overhead bridge construction will close a section of Tacony Street in Northeast Philadelphia through mid-July.

Drivers are advised of the following travel restriction:

• Monday, June 29, through Friday, July 17, from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, Tacony Street will be closed and detoured between Aramingo Avenue and Bridge Street.

During the closure, northbound Tacony Street motorists will be directed to use Aramingo/Harbison Avenue and turn right onto Bridge Street to access Tacony Street. Southbound motorists will be directed to turn right onto Bridge Street and turn left onto Aramingo/Harbison Avenue to access Tacony Street.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area or along the detour route because backups and delays may occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The work on Tacony Street is part of PennDOT’s ongoing I-95/BS2 project that will reconstruct I-95 in both directions between Margaret Street and Carver Street.
