South Street Bridge Closure between the fall of 2008 and fall of 2010.

The closing of the Bridge for reconstruction will have a considerable impact on accessing the University and Health System, and potentially lead to increased traffic congestion on and around campus.  A website has been developed (www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/ssbridge) which provides information about the project and includes recommended maps, routes and detours for those traveling to campus by automobile, as well as useful information on alternative modes of transportation.
