Beginning on Sunday, Aug. 3 and continuing nightly through Wednesday, Aug. 6 either the two left lanes on I-95 southbound will be closed OR the ramp from the Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound and the first travel lane on I-95 southbound at the bridge will be closed between 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. to allow work crews to repair a bridge beam that was struck and damaged by an over height truck.

When the ramp from the Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound and the first travel lane on I-95 southbound at the bridge is closed, traffic will be detoured to Route 1 southbound then at Route 129, traffic will be directed to Route 1 northbound then to the ramp to I-95 southbound.

On the I-95/Route 1 Connector (Route 129) to I-95 southbound, the travel lane will be reduced to 12 feet over the full length of the bridge over I-95.
