This resulted in the closure of both the bridge, while engineers assessed the potential structural issues, and the Expressway for clean-up. Discussion with the City's Bridge Engineer's Office has provided some information with respect to the highway closures and the length of time that they will remain closed. At the present time, it would appear that the South Street Bridge will remain closed for the remainder of today while engineering survey teams complete their evaluation process. The Expressway is experiencing intermittent lane closures to assist in the clean-up and engineering survey. If it is determined that additional work is required to stabilize the concrete situation, the City and PENNDOT will schedule the work for overnight hours so it will pose the least amount of traffic problems. Please be aware that the bridge and Expressway closures are severely hindering the flow of traffic throughout University City . ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
