Small debris falling from I-95 prompts southbound lane closures in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA - Another traffic disturbance for Philly commuters as small amounts of falling debris causes several lanes to close on the city's busy Interstate 95.
PennDOT says a cover plate fell off a bridge repair project at mile marker 19.5 near South Front and Tasker streets.
Two right-hand lanes on the southbound side were closed while maintenance crews performed cold patch operations. One lane had reopened by early Wednesday afternoon.
All lanes were reopened by 3 p.m. Wednesday, but will close nightly to allow for permanent repairs.

Officials say to expect closures from 7:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. over the next few nights.
All lanes will be open when work is not being performed.
This closure comes just about a month after collapsed portions of I-95 reopened thanks to a temporary solution for drivers.
