Additional Weekend Lane Closures from 1:30 a.m. to 7:30 a.m.

Motorists crossing the Ben Franklin Bridge into New Jersey should expect delays because of a repaving project beginning approximately 8 p.m. on Friday (8/8) and lasting until late Sunday (8/10). 

During this project, the 6th St. bridge approach ramp in Philadelphia will be closed.  Traffic to New Jersey will be detoured to the 5th St. approach ramp via Race St.
