I-95 North in Philadelphia Closed for Days After Bridge Strike

Crews work nonstop to repair damaged Conrail bridge; NJ Transit service disrupted, major detours in effect.

  • A section of northbound I-95 in Philadelphia will remain closed for several days due to a tractor-trailer striking a Conrail railroad bridge.
  • Repairs to the damaged bridge are expected to be completed by the weekend, with crews working around the clock.
  • NJ Transit's Atlantic City Rail Line service between 30th Street Station and Cherry Hill is suspended, with substitute bus service provided.
  • Traffic detours are in place, with significant delays expected, especially as Wrestlemania is set to draw about 200,000 people to the city over the weekend.
  • This is the second bridge strike on I-95 in Philadelphia in nine months, following a gasoline tanker truck crash in June.
