I-95 North ramp in Philadelphia permanently closes for reconstruction on highway

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The I-95 North ramp to Bridge Street from Harbison Avenue was permanently closed on Wednesday night.

The exit, which was Exit 27, was located in Philadelphia's Bridesburg neighborhood.

PennDOT crews will begin building a retaining wall to help with the construction of the viaduct over Bridge and Tacony streets.

This is all part of a $268 million project to widen nearly a mile of I-95, officials say.
