South Street Bridge Closure

The South Street Bridge officially closed on December 8, 2008 to ALL vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic.  The demolition and rebuilding of the bridge requires complete closure of the structure between Convention Avenue (still listed as Civic Center Blvd on Google Maps) and 27th Street, including the on- and off-ramps connecting South Street and I-76. Please be prepared for significant vehicular congestion throughout University City, as well as periodic traffic and parking changes in the vicinity of campus.
