80014 | I-95: Cottman On-Ramp (C) (Philadelphia City)

This project is a component of the Statewide Interstate Management Program (IMP) and is a construction breakout of Section CPR (MPMS #47394). This project will construct Ramp F, the southbound I-95 on-ramp from Cottman Avenue.
Utility relocation consists of relocating Philadelphia Water Dept sewer (114”-) main in Wissinoming Street (between Princeton and Bleigh Avenues). Associated roadway work includes pavement reconstruction on: Wissinoming Street, Milnor Street (between New State Rd and Bleigh Avenue) and Bleigh Avenue (between Milnor Street and State Rd). Left turn lanes will be added to SR 73 (New State Road) at Magee Avenue. Additional traffic, bicycle and pedestrian operational improvements will be made on surface streets that are part of the Cottman/Princeton interchange. Additional construction includes 1 retaining wall and traffic signal construction and/or timing modifications at up to 4 locations.
An investment of more than $2.7 billion will provide for the repair, reconstruction and restoration of I-95, a major facility built in the 1960's which runs through Bucks, Philadelphia, and Delaware Counties in the DVRPC region. Current construction efforts in Philadelphia, are addressing critical repairs on aging bridges and interchanges, and improve traffic flow, along the approximately eight miles of I-95 between I-676/Vine Street and Cottman Avenue (Sector A), by adding new ramps and creating a more consistent four-lane highway in both directions by eliminating lane-drops and providing continuous lanes connecting the on-off ramps. Appropriate pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities may also be expanded depending on the context of the construction section. The reconstruction of I-95 has been broken out to over 20 separate MPMS #'s, some of which appear in the Interstate Management Program, which is strictly for reconstruction components, and some of which appear in the DVRPC Regional TIP. MPMS #’s include: 17821 (Section GIR design: GR0, GR1, GR2, GR3, GR4, GR5, GR6, GR7), 47394 (Section CPR design: CP1, CP2), 47811 (Section BSR design: BS1, BS2, BS3), 47812 (Section BRI design:BR0, BR2, BR3), 47813 (Section AFC design: AF1, AF2), 79683 (Section CP1 construction), 79685 (Section CP2 construction), 79686 (Section GR1 construction), 79826 (Section GR3 construction), 79827 (Section GR4 construction), 79828 (Section GR5 construction), 79903 (Section BR0 construction), 79904 (Section BR2 construction), 79905 (Section BR3 construction), 79908 (Section BS1 construction), 79910 (Section BS2 construction), 79911 (Section AF1 construction), 79912 (Section AF2 construction), 80094 (Section GR0 construction), 83640 (Section GR2 construction), 87784 (Section BS3 construction), 98207 (I95 Congestion Management), 103553 (Section GR6 Construction), 103554 (Section GR7 construction), 103555 (Section GR8 construction), 102309 (I95 Corridor Drainage). Please refer to the DVRPC I-95 Reconstruction Project in Philadelphia Roadmap in the TIP for additional information about the various sections and corresponding MPMS#’s as well as notations on future and previous projects which may not currently be active and do not appear in the IMP or TIP.
This project is integral to the Delaware Valley Freight Corridors Initiative. Project CMP (Congestion Management Process) commitments include strategies such as improvements for transit users, bicyclists, pedestrians, and drivers on the existing road network (operations). See DVRPC's 2007 and 2010 annual memoranda on supplemental CMP strategies for details related to this project. Related sections of I-95 Reconstruction: MPMS #'s 47394, 79683 and 79685.
