The northbound lane will close down starting at 9 p.m. Monday night. Drivers will be redirected to use the Betsy Ross/Aramingo Avenue Interchange , turn right on Aramingo Avenue, and turn right onto Adams Avenue to access the ramp to I-95 North.The ramp from Castor Avenue to northbound I-95 will also be closed and detoured during construction. Drivers will be directed to use Aramingo Avenue to access the ramp to I-95 North at Adams Avenue.

Electronic message boards on I-76, I-276, I-476, and other regional transportation arteries in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey are being used to alert motorists about the closure and provide information about alternate routes.
