Travel on southbound I-95 in Philadelphia will be interrupted for a little while longer as bridge repairs continue to close the ramp connecting Morris Street to the interstate.<\/p>\n
According to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), the ramp will be completely closed and detoured through Friday, Dec. 18., a month-long closure extension. <\/p>\n
In October, PennDOT officials reported that the ramp would be closed until Friday, Nov. 20<\/a>.<\/p>\n During the ramp’s closure, drivers will be directed to use Water Street, Tasker Street, Christopher Columbus Boulevard, Oregon Avenue and Front Street to access southbound I-95.<\/p>\n PennDOT says the work is part of a $60.4 million project to perform repairs on interstate bridges across the region. The project includes repairs to deteriorated bridge decks and repairs above and below the bridge’s bearings.<\/p>\n Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the construction or along the detour route. <\/p>\n Travelers can also check major road conditions h<\/a>ere<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Travel on southbound I-95 in Philadelphia will be interrupted for a little while longer as bridge repairs continue…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[69,71,70,2155],"class_list":["post-322501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-transportation"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
