Stay off I-95 at night, and other traffic news you're going to need this week

If you’re planning to see the Philadelphia 76ers play the Boston Celtics at the Wells Fargo Center, or have a pre-dawn commute into the city, you might want to avoid I-95 overnight this week.

PennDOT crews will be out between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. every day this week for sign installation in Bensalem and along the interstate into the city.

A left lane on southbound I-95 near the Route 132 (Street Road) interchange and one between the Mill Road underpass and Tennis Avenue underpass could bring delays in Bensalem.
