It involves an 11-mile section of the highway that runs from the Pensylvania-Delaware border northward to Tinicum Township, Delaware County, just beyond the Route 420 interchange.
PennDOT classified the project as “critical infrastructure” repairs. It was among more than three-dozen projects across the state that got the governor’s blessing to proceed.
That part of the job will likely begin in May, Rudolph said.
“So travel restrictions will not really be in place probably through most of April, but eventually this project will move to mainline 95 and really start taking some lanes for travelers, typically during off-peak hours and evenings and overnights,” Rudolph said.
Crews are scheduled to repair several sections of damaged concrete pavement, make improvements to 41 ramps, and do minor repairs to 15 of the 33 bridges along the route.
They’ll also fix median barriers, upgrade guiderails and replace damaged or missing traffic signs.
Rudolph said the $68 million job should be finished by late 2023.
