September 6, 2024 – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that Wissinoming Street has reopened between Cottman Avenue and Princeton Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia.
Wissinoming Street was closed in 2009 for construction of PennDOT’s Interstate 95 Sections CP2 and CP3 projects for relocation and installation of water and sewer mains, reconstruction and widening of I-95 between Bleigh Avenue and Levick Street, construction of a new southbound I-95 on-ramp at Cottman Avenue, and eventual reconstruction and improvement of the street.
Additional improvements to Wissinoming Street include installation of additional on-street parking and creation of open green space for public use.
Drivers can enter Wissinoming Street from Cottman Avenue, Wellington Street, Friendship Street, and Princeton Avenue. Wissinoming Street is now one-way between Wellington Street and Friendship Street.
The reopening of Wissinoming Street marks the completion of PennDOT’s I-95/CPR projects that reconstructed and improved 1.4 miles of I-95, its structures, and surface streets between the Cottman Avenue and Bridge Street interchanges.
