These traffic pattern shifts open work zones for construction crews to complete the new I-95 bridges at the I-95/SR 60, I-95/Kings Highway, I-95/4th Street and I-95/90th Avenue overpasses.
Work on this construction corridor includes adding lanes on I-95 in each direction; removing old asphalt and resurfacing the existing lanes; bridge widening; bridge replacement; interchange ramp reconstruction; sound wall installation along residential areas; and landscaping, traffic signals and highway lighting improvements.
