PennDOT announced that the eastbound Levick Street cut-off to southbound Tacony Street at the approach to the Tacony Palmyra Bridge will be closed and detoured for about eight weeks, beginning Aug. 26, for installation of drainage pipes, part of surface street improvements under a $79.7 million project to reconstruct I-95 between Levick and Carver streets at the northern end of the Bridge Street Interchange.
Motorists on Robbins Street heading for Tacony Street via Levick Street will be detoured right on Torresdale Avenue, left on Harbison Avenue/Aramingo Avenue and left on Bridge Street to Tacony Street.
The detour is expected to be lifted and the cut-off to Tacony Street reopened at the completion of drainage work by late October.
The work at Bridge Street, Section BS1, where crews currently are rebuilding the median in preparation for a traffic shift for the start of northbound reconstruction this fall, is the first of two contracts to reconstruct I-95 and the Bridge Street Interchange. The H&K Group Inc. of Skippack, Montgomery County, is the general contractor on the project, which is being funded by 100 percent federal funds. ••
