On Saturday night, March 16, the slip ramp from the northbound I-95 general purpose lanes to the north-running 95 Express Lanes near the project will remain open at all times. But the slip ramp will be closed Friday night due to the 95 Express Lanes running southbound at that time.
The lane closures are for the Powells Creek bridge project that’s underway to improve safety and extend the life of the I-95 general purpose lane bridges over Powells Creek, which were built in 1963.
