Betsy Ross Bridge Ramp To Close For One Year: PennDOT

PHILADELPHIA — Drivers crossing the Betsy Ross Bridge into Philadelphia will not be able to get onto Interstate 95 north for about a year due to a closure for reconstruction work, PennDOT said.

According to PennDOT, the ramp from the Betsy Ross Bridge to northbound Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will close at 8 p.m. Thursday.

The closure will last about a year, PennDOT said.

Bridge traffic heading for northbound I-95 will be detoured to Aramingo Avenue and rerouted through the interchange to the Aramingo Avenue ramp to northbound I-95.

The ramp from the bridge to southbound I-95 is also closed for reconstruction and is detoured to Aramingo Avenue and rerouted along the same detour route.

Drivers coming to Pennsylvania on the Betsy Ross Bridge are advised to remain alert for slowing traffic as drivers become acclimated to the detour.

Following the ramp closure, crews will begin demolition and construction of a new ramp. Both ramps from the bridge to I-95 are expected to be completed and reopened in late 2021.
