I-95 Road Conditions for November 18, 2025
Along the full I-95 corridor from Florida to Maine today, the most significant construction and closure impacts are:
- Florida (Miami – Golden Glades): A 24/7 closure of the northbound I-95 Express entrance ramp at NW 39 Street & NW 10 Avenue, and a long-term 24/7 closure of the northbound I-95 exit ramp to NW 151 Street (Exit 11), both tied to the Golden Glades Interchange reconstruction.
- Delaware (Newark): All SR 896 ramps to I-95 southbound and the I-95 northbound ramp to SR 896 remain closed long term for the I-95/SR 896 interchange rebuild, with signed detours for both directions.
- Pennsylvania (Philadelphia): The Aramingo Avenue ramp to I-95 southbound at the Bridge Street interchange is closed 24/7 through November 21, 2025; the Lombard Circle on-ramp to I-95 northbound at Penn’s Landing remains closed for a multi-year CAP project.
- Connecticut (West Haven & East Lyme): The Exit 43 on-ramp to I-95 northbound in West Haven is closed through November 2027 for bridge replacement, and the Exit 75 on-ramp to I-95 southbound in East Lyme remains closed until November 20, 2025, for ramp reconstruction.
- Rhode Island (Warwick): The Route 113 East (East Avenue) on-ramp to I-95 northbound is closed through late fall 2025 during a bridge replacement project over I-95 and I-295.
- Virginia (Occoquan area): The right auxiliary lane of southbound I-95 from the Route 123 on-ramp across the Occoquan Road bridge is closed continuously until summer 2026, and Occoquan Road beneath I-95 is in a long-term work zone, including an approximately two-week full closure window this month.
- Maine (Augusta–Waterville–Fairfield): Long-running paving and bridge work between roughly mile markers 112–134 and 148–151 maintains extended work zones with lane restrictions and shifting traffic patterns.
- Other corridor states: Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire show ongoing I-95 construction and maintenance, but no clearly documented 24-hour I-95 ramp closures in public DOT/511 bulletins today; lane and shoulder closures there are mostly scheduled for specific nighttime or off-peak windows.
I-95 Florida Road Conditions
Major closures and construction:
- Miami – Golden Glades Interchange (NW Miami-Dade): The northbound I-95 Express entrance ramp at NW 39 Street & NW 10 Avenue is closed around the clock through November 26, 2025. Drivers heading to I-95 Express northbound are detoured to enter via eastbound SR 112/Airport Expressway at NW 17 Avenue.
- Northbound I-95 exit to NW 151 Street (Exit 11, North Miami area): The ramp from northbound I-95 to NW 151 Street remains closed 24/7 and is scheduled to stay closed through summer 2026.

I-95 South Carolina Road Conditions
South Carolina has initiated a widening and improvements project on I-95 between the Savannah River and US 278 (Exit 8) in Jasper County. Work will add capacity and modernize interchanges and bridges along roughly 10 miles of I-95. As of today, available statewide advisories do not identify any I-95 ramps within this corridor that are closed around the clock; instead, temporary lane and ramp closures are being used as construction progresses.
Key link: SC 511 – South Carolina I-95 Info
I-95 North Carolina Road Conditions
North Carolina’s largest I-95 impacts are from the multi-year widening between Exits 55 and 81 (Murphy Road/Fayetteville to I-40 near Benson):
- Exits 55–71 and 71–81 (Cumberland, Harnett & Johnston Counties): A 26-mile widening project is expanding I-95 from four to eight lanes and rebuilding multiple interchanges and bridges. Drivers encounter long work zones with lane shifts, narrowed lanes, and active construction in medians and shoulders.
- Ramps within the widening limits: NCDOT’s current public information indicates ramp closures at individual interchanges are generally short-term and scheduled for nights or off-peak hours. No specific I-95 ramp in this stretch is listed as closed 24/7 today.

I-95 Virginia Road Conditions
Virginia has several active projects on I-95; the most significant today is at the Route 123 (Gordon Boulevard) interchange near Occoquan in Prince William County:
- Route 123 Interchange – I-95 Southbound Auxiliary Lane (Exit 160): The right auxiliary lane of southbound I-95 from the Route 123 southbound on-ramp to just beyond the bridge over Occoquan Road is closed continuously until approximately summer 2026 for roadway and bridge widening related to a new two-lane ramp from Route 123 to I-95 southbound.
- Occoquan Road (Route 906) under I-95: Between Hylton Avenue and Devils Reach Road, Occoquan Road is reduced to one lane in each direction through late 2026 to support the same project.
- Occoquan Road closure between Horner Road and Old Bridge Road: Starting November 7, 2025, this segment of Occoquan Road is in an approximately two-week full closure window so crews can lower the roadway under the I-95 bridge. Local access is maintained, but through traffic is detoured via Horner Road, Route 123, and Old Bridge Road.
Other Virginia I-95 locations, such as the Fredericksburg area (around Exit 126), have ongoing interchange improvements with nighttime lane and ramp closures, but no additional I-95 ramps are listed as closed 24/7 today in corridor-wide summaries.

I-95 Maryland Road Conditions
Maryland’s primary I-95 work today centers on the I-95 Express Toll Lanes Northbound Extension and the I-95/MD 24 interchange near Bel Air:
- MD 24 Interchange – Bel Air (Exit 77): A full interchange reconfiguration is underway, changing access patterns between I-95, MD 24, and MD 924. Recent advisories describe weekend ramp closures and traffic shifts rather than a specific ramp closure that remains in effect 24/7 today.
- Express Toll Lanes north of Baltimore: Construction continues with lane shifts and night or weekend ramp closures, but statewide bulletins do not show a particular I-95 ramp closed continuously today.
Key link: MDOT CHART – Maryland 511
I-95 Delaware Road Conditions
Delaware has some of the most substantial long-term I-95 ramp closures along the corridor at the Newark I-95/SR 896 interchange:
- SR 896 → I-95 Southbound – Newark: All ramps from SR 896 to I-95 southbound are closed long term from May 13, 2024 through December 2025. Traffic from SR 896 must follow signed detours to alternate I-95 southbound access points.
- I-95 Northbound → SR 896 – Newark: The ramp from I-95 northbound to SR 896 is also closed for the duration of the project, with detours guiding drivers to nearby interchanges to reach SR 896.
- Additional closures: Project bulletins list further short-term lane and ramp closures around the I-95/SR 896 interchange this week, but the two ramps above are the only ones clearly identified as closed 24/7 today.

I-95 Connecticut Road Conditions
Connecticut has two notable long-term I-95 ramp closures today, plus multiple active bridge and interchange projects:
- Exit 43 – West Haven on-ramp to I-95 Northbound: The on-ramp from First Avenue at Exit 43 to I-95 northbound is closed starting July 21, 2025, and will remain closed until November 2027 as part of the Interchange 43 improvement and bridge replacement project. Traffic is detoured to Interchange 44 via First Avenue southbound, Route 122 (Kimberly Avenue), and Ella T. Grasso Boulevard in New Haven.
- Exit 75 – East Lyme on-ramp to I-95 Southbound: The Exit 75 on-ramp to I-95 southbound (near Route 161) remains closed while the ramp and adjacent highway section are reconstructed to match a new alignment. The project currently lists a planned reopening on November 20, 2025, so the ramp is still closed today with detours signed via local roads and other I-95 access points.
- Additional Connecticut I-95 work: CTDOT also has ongoing bridge and pavement work at other locations (e.g., Stamford and Westport), producing intermittent nighttime lane closures and traffic shifts. Those closures are date- and time-specific and are not continuous 24-hour ramp closures today.

I-95 Rhode Island Road Conditions
Rhode Island has a key long-term ramp closure in Warwick and ongoing work in the Providence area:
- Warwick – Route 113 East (East Avenue) → I-95 Northbound: The on-ramp from Route 113 East to I-95 northbound is closed as part of a bridge replacement project over I-95 and I-295. The closure began in May 2025 and will remain in place through late fall 2025. During the closure, drivers on Route 113 East must use the ramp to I-95 southbound, travel to Route 117 (Exit 27A), and reverse direction back onto I-95 northbound, or follow an alternate detour via Main Avenue, Route 1 (Post Road) north, and the Airport Connector.
- Providence corridor: Weekend work between Cadillac Drive and the Roger Williams Park Zoo has recently wrapped up, but RIDOT continues I-95 bridge and pavement work that primarily uses nighttime lane closures rather than day-long ramp closures.

I-70 Road Conditions Overview
Regional Hazards Along I-70
- Mountain Passes and High Elevations – Steep grades and sharp curves in mountainous regions can be hazardous year-round. In winter, snow and ice create slick conditions, while in summer, sudden thunderstorms or hail can reduce visibility and traction. Altitude can also affect vehicle performance and braking.
- Snow and Ice in Winter Months – From late fall through early spring, stretches of I-70 often see snow, freezing rain, and black ice. These conditions can trigger chain laws, traction requirements, and temporary closures, especially in Colorado and other high-elevation sections.
- Heavy Rain and Flooding – Low-lying areas and sections near rivers can be prone to flash flooding or standing water during intense rainstorms. Hydroplaning risk increases in heavy downpours, and reduced visibility can slow traffic significantly.
- Wind-Prone Plains – Open sections of I-70 across the Great Plains often experience strong crosswinds. High-profile vehicles like trucks and RVs are especially vulnerable to gusts that can cause lane drift or tip-over hazards.
- Construction and Work Zones – Seasonal maintenance and infrastructure improvements are common along I-70. Lane closures, reduced speed limits, and narrowed shoulders can increase accident risk, particularly when combined with high traffic volumes.
- Urban Congestion – In metropolitan areas, such as around Denver, Kansas City, and St. Louis, heavy commuter traffic and merging lanes can create congestion and increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Rush hour delays and construction bottlenecks are frequent concerns in these regions.
- Fog and Reduced Visibility – Certain valleys and river crossings along I-70 are prone to fog, especially in cooler months. Sudden drops in visibility can lead to dangerous chain-reaction accidents if drivers do not adjust their speed and following distance.
