A significant section of northbound Interstate 95 in Philadelphia will be closed this weekend due to major construction work. The closure, scheduled from 6 p.m. Saturday to 5 a.m. Monday, is part of the I-95 CAP construction project for the new Park at Penn's Landing, which includes demolishing pedestrian bridges above the highway. The affected stretch is between Columbus Boulevard and I-676. PennDot has announced the closure and advised travelers to expect delays on I-95 northbound and surrounding roads. Detours and planning advice have been provided to navigate around the closed section and ensure access to the Waterfront area, where activities are still accessible despite the construction.
