This project is a component of the Statewide Interstate Management Program (IMP) and is the Design parent project for I-95 Sections CP1 and CP2. The overall section provides for the reconstruction of 8 bridges and 1.2 miles of roadway; the mainline will be reconfigured to eliminate the lane drop between the interchange ramps, and will result in 4 through lanes in each direction; widen in area of Princeton-Cottman interchange to accommodate new southbound on-ramp from Cottman Ave. and northbound on-ramp from Milnor St. This project involves the widening and reconstruction of SR 95-CPR at its modified directional interchange with SR 73 (Cottman and Princeton Aves.) in the City of Philadelphia. Constructed in the mid-1960’s, I-95 is located between the AMTRAK rail corridor and the riverfront industries along the Delaware River. The adjacent I-95 interchanges are located approximately 2.7 miles north at the Academy Road interchange and 2.1 miles south at the Bridge Street interchange.
The south-bound on ramp at Princeton Avenue will be eliminated and replaced with a SB on ramp at State Road/Longshore and one at Cottman. A north bound slip ramp from Milnor Street to the north-bound on ramp will also be provided. Off-line work on Cottman and Princeton Avenues will restore 2-directional traffic to these current 1-way state routes. An additional SB lane will also be added to State Road between Cottman Avenue and New State Road. Associated intersection lane configuration upgrades will also be incorporated at the: Cottman/State, Cottman/Torresdale, State/Princeton and Bleigh/State intersections. An EB lane will also be created on Princeton Avenue beneath the I-95, restoring the Tacony community connection with the Delaware Riverfront at this location. Complete mainline pavement replacement with associated drainage and safety upgrades is included. Mill and overlay on local streets.
I-95 is a major facility built in the 1960s which runs through Bucks, Philadelphia, and Delaware Counties in the DVRPC region. More than $2.77 billion will provide for the repair, reconstruction and restoration of I-95 in Philadelphia for approximately eight miles between I-676/Vine Street and Cottman Avenue (Sector A) that PennDOT is currently working to improve in order to address critical repairs on aging bridges and interchanges, and improve traffic flow 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. Appropriate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities may also be expanded depending on the context of the construction section. This reconstruction of I-95 Sector A has been divided into various “sections” (including GIR, CPR, BSR, BRI, AFC, Congestion Management, and drainage projects) in over 30 separate MPMS #s, most of which appear in the Interstate Management Program (IMP), and some of which appear in the DVRPC Regional Highway Program of the TIP. MPMS #s for the overall corridor include: 17821, 47394, 47811, 47812, 47813, 79683, 79685, 79686, 79826, 79827, 79828, 79903, 79904, 79905, 79908, 79910, 79911, 79912, 80094, 83640, 87784, 98207, 102305, and 103553, through 103564. Please refer to the DVRPC I-95 Reconstruction Project in Philadelphia Roadmap in the TIP for additional information about the various sections and corresponding MPMS#’s as well as notations on future and previous projects which may not currently be active and do not appear in the IMP or TIP.
This project is integral to the Delaware Valley Freight Corridors Initiive. Project CMP (Congestion Management Process) commitments include strategies such as improvements for transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers on the existing road network (operations). See DVRPC’s 2007 and 2010 memoranda on supplemental CMP strategies for details related to this project. . (SAFETEA DEMO #1370, PA ID# 198 - $15.3 Million. A final alternative for bridge rehabilitation or replacement is determined upon federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) or state Categorical Exclusion clearance.
