Philadelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that northbound Columbus Boulevard will be reduced to two lanes at Penn's Landing for approximately two months beginning Monday, July 1, for PECO utility construction, as part of the $329 million Interstate 95 CAP project to replace and expand the covered area over the interstate in Center City Philadelphia.
The restriction will reduce northbound Columbus Boulevard from three-lanes-to-two from Market Street to Dock Street until approximately late August.
The Delaware River Trail also will be impacted, with bicyclists being merged with pedestrians through the area of utility construction.
Drivers are advised to allow extra time when traveling through the work area because backups and delays will occur on northbound Columbus Boulevard.
Additional project details, construction updates, project detours and other information on PennDOT's I-95 CAP project are available at www.95revive.com and parkatpennslanding.com.
Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
