The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that paving operations and expansion joint repair will occur next week on Interstate 295 in Bucks County and Interstate 95 in Philadelphia under a $44.6 million bridge improvement project to perform high-priority repairs on several structures on I-295, I-95 and Interstate 476 in Bucks, Philadelphia and Delaware counties.
Motorists are advised of the following travel restrictions: Tuesday, May 30, through Friday, June 1, from 7:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. the following morning, a single lane closure is scheduled on eastbound and/or westbound I-295 between the Route 413 (Bristol) and Business U.S. 1/Route 413 (Penndel/Levittown) interchanges in Bristol and Middletown townships for paving; and from 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 2, to 11:59 p.m. Saturday, June 3, the ramp from Aramingo Avenue to southbound I-95 will be closed and detoured for expansion joint repair on the southbound I-95 ramps for expansion joint repair. Motorists will be directed to follow the posted detour routes.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through or near the work areas because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.
Repairs to the structures under this project include replacing rocker bearings, frozen sliding plate bearings and deck expansion joints; cleaning and painting steel beams; repairing substructure concrete; and reconstructing bearing pedestals.
The project also includes the replacement of high mast light poles along the I-95 corridor in Philadelphia and Delaware counties.
Driscoll Construction Company, Inc. of Philadelphia is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100% federal funds.
