- Sunday, January 26, through Friday, January 31, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on the northbound deck of the I-95 Girard Point Bridge for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) equipment maintenance.
- Sunday, January 26, through Friday, January 31, from 9:00 PM to 5:00 AM the following morning, a lane closure will be in place on southbound I-95 between the Route 420 (Essington) and I-476 interchanges for ITS equipment maintenance.
