The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) today announced that
the Princeton Avenue on-ramp to northbound Interstate 95 will be closed and
detoured from 7 p.m. Thursday (September 3) to 6 a.m. Friday (September 4) for
concrete barrier installation.
During construction, Princeton Avenue motorists wanting to access northbound
I-95 will take State Road to Linden Avenue and follow to the on-ramp for I-95
North. Drivers wanting to access southbound 95 will take State Road to
Aramingo Avenue and follow to the on-ramp for I-95 South. Motorists are
advised to allow extra time to travel through these areas.
This work is part of PennDOT’s $31.9 million project to build two new ramps at
the I-95/Cottman Avenue Interchange (a new southbound on-ramp from State Road
near Longshore Avenue and a new northbound on-ramp from Milnor Street) and to
improve surface streets that carry traffic to, from and around the busy
interstate. This project is the first of two contracts for the $230 million
project to rebuild and improve I-95 at the interchange.
Tony D. Paul & Son, of Blue Bell, Montgomery County, is the general contractor
on the $31,953,398 project that is financed with 90 percent federal and 10
percent state funds.
Construction on this first stage is expected to be completed in 2011.
