Small debris falling from I-95 prompts southbound lane closures in 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.
