The ramp from Bridge Street to northbound I-95 will close for good on the night of Friday, Aug. 21. This ramp closure is a part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) $267.9 million I-95 Section BS2 project. The BS2 project will reconstruct and widen I-95 from Margaret to Van Kirk streets in Northeast Philadelphia. Beginning 8 p.m. on Aug. 21, 2026, the ramp will close ahead of the start of construction of a new on-ramp to northbound I-95 from Tacony Street and the Delaware Avenue extension. The new ramp is expected to open in late 2027. While the ramp is closed, drivers will be redirected to Tacony Street and State Road/New State Road to enter the northbound I-95 on-ramp at Milnor Street in Northeast Philadelphia. On the night of Aug. 21, as construction begins on northbound I-95 at the Bridge Street Interchange, traffic will shift to the reconstructed southbound lanes. PennDOT says construction on the project should be completed by Spring 2028. PennDOT recomends
