This map shows the ramp closure that will go into effect at the Betsy Ross Interchange on I-95 from Sept. 21 until June 2017.

Here's your final warning, I-95 commuters.

The highway's south exit ramp to Aramingo Avenue at the Betsy Ross Bridge Interchange will close at around 8:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 21, and won't reopen until June 2017, PennDOT announced earlier this month.

The closure is for a ramp reconstruction, which is part of a $160.2 million project to overhaul the interchange.

Drivers who usually use the Aramingo Avenue exit will be directed to get off at Bridge Street and follow signs to Armingo.

Another alternate route will direct drivers to get off at Allegheny Avenue and turn left, then turn left on Delaware Avenue, and then turn left again on Castor Avenue to return to Aramingo.
