![]() Appropriate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities may also be expanded depending on the context of the construction section. Current construction efforts in Philadelphia, are addressing critical repairs on aging bridges and interchanges, and improve traffic flow, along the approximately eight miles of I-95 between I-676/Vine Street and Cottman Avenue (Sector A), by adding new ramps and creating a more consistent four-lane highway in both directions by eliminating lane-drops and providing continuous lanes connecting the on-off ramps. The project will incorporate new traffic signals at 12 intersections and modifications to traffic signals at 5 intersections.Īn investment of more than $2.7 billion will provide for the repair, reconstruction and restoration of I-95, a major facility built in the 1960's which runs through Bucks, Philadelphia, and Delaware Counties in the DVRPC region. The East Coast Greenway will also be constructed along the North Delaware Ave. Connector to the existing bicycle lanes on Orthodox St. A multi-use trail will extend further along Aramingo Ave. Connector to the adjoining MPMS #17782 project. The BSR section also includes the construction of the Frankford Creek Greenway along Aramingo Ave. Extension will provide access to SR 0095 NB. A SR 0095 SB off-ramp will provide direct access to Tacony St. These ramps are being moved further north to the intersection of Tacony St. Interchange (at James Street), and the removal of the Bridge St. The project also consists of removing the SR 0095 SB off-ramp at the Bridge St. This will include a new bridge over Old Frankford Creek. will be extended approximately 1.3 miles from Buckius Street to Tacony St. SB to SR 0095 SB.Īs part of this project, Delaware Ave. The other ramp to be removed is an on-ramp from Aramingo Ave. One of the ramps to be removed is an off-ramp from SR 0095 NB to Aramingo Ave. These new ramps will serve to accommodate the increased traffic volumes from the removal of two ramps at the Bridge St. Interchange to accommodate all traffic movements from the Betsy Ross Bridge and from SR 0095 (MPMS 79903 - SR0095, Sec BR0). Additional ramps will be constructed between the Betsy Ross Bridge and the SR 0095/Aramingo Ave. The Aramingo Avenue/Betsy Ross Interchange will be reconfigured to construct a portion of the Adams Ave. to the south to the Amtrak bridge to the north. Approximately 1.4 miles of reconstruction along Aramingo Ave. In addition, the project consists of 1.7 miles of reconstruction and realignment along SR 0095, as well as 0.7 miles of reconstruction along Tacony Street from Aramingo Ave. ![]() All retaining walls supporting SR 0095 will be totally reconstructed to support the new widened roadway and ramps. The project includes the replacement of six mainline structures. ![]() with exclusive acceleration/deceleration lanes. The proposed SR 0095 will have four lanes in each direction from Margaret St. providing four lanes northbound from the BRI section up to Bridge Street) at the Bridge St. ramp in the southbound direction and eliminating the add lane (i.e. The overall section improvements of BSR consist of eliminating the lane drop at the James St. This project is a component of the Statewide Interstate Management Program (IMP) and is the design parent for I-95 Reconstruction SR 0095 Section BSR, also known as the Bridge Street Ramps section. ❮ Back 47811 | Bridge Street Design (Section BSR)(IMP) (Philadelphia City) ![]()
