On October 9, 2026, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation shifted northbound traffic on I‑95 into the highway median near the Betsy Ross Bridge in the Port Richmond neighborhood of Philadelphia. The change creates a continuous stretch of tighter lanes without shoulders.
The reconfiguration spans roughly two miles and is designed to eliminate zigzagging through multiple construction zones while improving traffic flow.
This adjustment is part of a new phase of construction on I‑95 in the Port Richmond area.
