Overview
- Governor Josh Shapiro announced the package Thursday, May 28, 2026, saying the nearly $30 million effort will reduce congestion and strengthen transit and safety around the sports complex.
- A second left-turn lane from Front Street onto I-95 has already opened and is in use to speed egress from stadium events and daily traffic.
- Construction is set to begin soon on a new westbound I-76 entry ramp from 7th Street to give drivers an additional route into the highway and relieve pressure on Broad Street access.
- The plan moves forward with 19 AI-enabled smart traffic signals, upgraded signage, and a new traffic operations/event center inside the complex, with the state targeting completion of near-term elements by 2028.
- Officials will also conduct a Freight Network Study to map commercial routes between PhilaPort and the Bellwether District, and planners are developing a complex-wide event traffic strategy to handle this summer’s high-profile events.
