SEPTA is adding extra capacity and service.
Residents are encouraged to use SEPTA as an alternative means of travel.
All lanes of I-95 are closed in both directions between Woodhaven and Aramingo exits. Some streets in the surrounding area are closed for the emergency response.
Closures may change as the response continues. Travelers are encouraged to follow local news and PennDOT’s Twitter account or website (pa.gov/i95updates).
Due to the current closure of I-95, complimentary parking is available at some PPA-operated SEPTA train station lots until further notice:
Fern Rock Rail Station
10th & Nedro Streets
Fox Chase Rail Station
500 Rhawn Street
Torresdale Rail Station

Travelers should expect delays and plan alternative travel routes, especially while planning for their weekday commute.
Residents should continue to set their trash and recycling collections out as normal on their regular trash day and at their regular pickup site.
Residents in the northeast area of the city should expect delays in collections. The Streets Department is assessing which areas will be impacted as sanitation trucks will have to be diverted to alternative travel routes. Follow the Streets Department on Twitter for updates.
