Lower Chichester, PA

Pennsylvania's new Welcome Center located along I-95 on Pennsylvania's border with Delaware is now open.

After over a year of construction, Pennsylvania's newest Welcome Center is now open!

With the tourist season now in full bloom, Pennsylvania now joins Delaware with a brand new Welcome Center facility on I-95. Located on the border with Delaware in lower Delaware County PA, this offers an excellent stop for visitors traveling into Philadelphia or throughout the state.

Welcome Centers have evolved from simple rest areas with a few amenities to complete facilities offering information on multiple opportunities throughout the state. They even include all those state travel guides and brochures that you just can't seem to find anywhere else.

With fourteen Welcome Centers located on most of the major interstate highway entry points, Pennsylvania is well covered by visitor facilities throughout the state. Each center showcases both the local area and events and opportunities throughout the state including information on local products, events, and accommodations.

The new I-95 Delaware County Welcome Center contains restrooms, tourist information, vending machines, and picnic facilities in an expanded 8500 square foot facility. This replaces two older existing structures dating to 1971 with less than half the space.

Whether you are traveling from out of state or are a nearby resident looking for additional information on the local area and events, be sure to stop by, take a look, and enjoy the new facilities!

The I-95 PA Welcome Center has closed for reconstruction.

With 15 Welcome Centers scattered throughout the state of Pennsylvania, you are never far from a friendly face offering plenty of local information. For the next year or so, though, you won't be able to find one as you enter Pennsylvania from Delaware along I 95. The I-95 Welcome Center, built in 1971, closed in April and is expected to remain closed for reconstruction until May 1, 2011.

Statewide the PA Welcome Centers have approximately 3.7 million visitors per year. The I-95 space needed both upgraded facilities and a larger space to handle the expected demand. They are investing $5.9 million to replace the two existing structures with one larger facility containing about 8500 square feet of space. The new center will provide restrooms, tourist information, vending machines, and picnic facilities.

For the next year, travelers will still have plenty of options to obtain visitor information throughout the region. In Philadelphia, the Independence Visitor Center continues to serve the entire greater Philadelphia Region. In Delaware County, the Brandywine Conference and Visitors Bureau, located at the intersection of Route 202 and the Beaver Valley Rd in Chadds Ford (just across from WAWA and just north of the Delaware State line), will continue to serve Delaware County and the entire Brandywine Valley.

It is always a great time to visit the area and information is always available. If you ever need any information or have any questions, let me know.
