Ben Franklin Bridge to Close on Sunday, 11/6 from 7:45 a.m. until 9:30 a.m.

On Sunday, November 6, 2016, the Benjamin Franklin Bridge will close from 7:45am to 9:30am for the annual Cooper Norcross Run the Bridge Charity Event.  This 10K run and two-mile bridge walk benefits the Larc School, a non-profit special education school in Bellmawr, New Jersey serving students with a wide range of moderate to severe disabilities. Larc offers programs for students ages 3 to 21, with services provided at no cost to families. 

PATCO train service and the bridge's pedestrian walkway will not be affected by the roadway closure. Customers are advised to seek an alternate route such as the Walt Whitman, the Betsy Ross Bridge or PATCO during that time period. For PATCO schedule information, please visit www.ridepatco.org.
