Project Description
As the second contract for construction of the I95/I276 Interchange connection, Section D20 will widen existing I95 between Neshaminy Creek and existing I276. The project will include construction of the new Southbound I95 “flyover” structure, which will connect I95 Southbound and I276 Westbound.
Existing I95 north of the Turnpike will be re-designated as I295 with new signing installed as part of this project. In order to provide sufficient room for the merging of the two roadways, Section D20 consists of widening and reconstruction of approximately 2 miles of existing I95.
This project also includes:
- Construction of a new 15 span bridge which will connect the newly aligned I95 with the redesignated I295
- Construction of retaining walls along both Northbound and Southbound I95 due to widening of the existing roadway
- Sound barrier walls along Northbound areas of the project
- Replacement/reconstruction of the existing roadways
- Installation of new drainage systems, construction of basins for erosion control and storm water management
- Replacement of signing and guide rail
- Installation of ITS facilities
- Installation of redesignation signing from Scudder Falls to Center City Philadelphia.
Project Schedule
