This report presents traffic forecasts and analysis for the Girard Avenue and I-676 Vine Expressway Interchange complex along I-95 in the Northern Liberties and Penn Treaty sections of Philadelphia. The report examines the impacts of 2025 and 2005 traffic volumes on I-95, interchange ramps for Girard Avenue and I-676 Vine Expressway, and also the local roadway system for the No-Build (Base Case) Alternative and five different Build options. The "Base Case" or No-Build Alternative, eliminates the lane drop on I-95 southbound at Girard Avenue while adding a connection from the southbound Girard Avenue off-ramp to Aramingo Avenue, and five build options, which would reconfigure the I-95 on and off-ramps as well as make other improvements to the Aramingo Avenue/Girard Avenue Interchange. The report also briefly describes the methodology used to develop the traffic forecasts.
