The I-95 Northbound in Philadelphia, specifically in Port Richmond and Northeast Philadelphia, is experiencing a prolonged closure due to a series of incidents. The closure began with necessary repairs on the Conrail bridge in Port Richmond, expected to be completed by the weekend. Commuters in Philly have expressed frustration over the resulting traffic congestion. The situation escalated when a police-escorted truck clipped the railroad bridge, prompting further investigation and repairs. Additionally, the closure near the Commodore Barry Bridge, heading toward Chester and the Blue Route, was intensified after a stolen police cruiser in Wilmington led to a police chase and a police-involved shooting, resulting in the suspect being transported to the hospital. Authorities are currently investigating the incidents, and alternate routes are suggested for affected commuters.
