Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, alongside City of Philadelphia leaders and regional partners, has announced a nearly $30 million infrastructure plan aimed at reducing traffic congestion and improving safety around the South Philadelphia Sports Complex.
The multi-year effort will focus on improving mobility through one of the region’s busiest corridors, directly impacting how contractors, workers, and materials move through South Philadelphia.
Key components of the plan include:
- A new westbound entrance ramp to I-76 from 7th Street
- A recently completed second left-turn lane from Front Street onto I-95 North
- Installation of new and upgraded traffic signals and signage
- Development of a centralized traffic operations center within the Sports Complex
Additional studies will evaluate future improvements to key corridors and freight routes connecting the Sports Complex to the Navy Yard, PhilaPort, and surrounding areas—further strengthening access to major job centers and logistics hubs.
The first phase of the plan is already underway, with near-term improvements expected over the next several years and broader upgrades targeted for completion by 2028.
