SEPTA's South Broad Concourse to fully reopen for first time since COVID-19 pandemic

The South Broad Concourse connecting City Hall and Walnut-Locust stations will be completely open Monday for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the underground network of tunnels reopened this summer in anticipation of the World Cup, MLB All-Star Game and semiquincentennial. But the South Penn Connector, a half-loop along South Penn Square connecting East Market and Broad streets, remained shuttered through the celebrations. Commuters will gain access to this corridor and with it, the complete concourse, next week ahead of the winter season.

Philly fixed a melted interstate in 12 days. Why does everything else take so long?

On an early Sunday morning in June 2023, a tanker truck filled with gasoline skidded on an exit ramp, tumbled over, and burst into flames just below one of the nation’s busiest interstates.

New Schuylkill River swing bridge debuts today

The swing bridge over the Schuylkill River opens for business on Friday. Why it matters: The pedestrian walkway — officially dubbed Schuylkill Crossing — fills a gap along the Schuylkill River Trail to unite South and Southwest Philly. The big picture: It's the latest and splashiest addition to the city's trail network since the nearby Christian to Crescent Trail Connector went online last year. State of play: The $28-million rehabilitation project converts the long-defunct railroad bridge into a pedestrian walkway for the first time. The bridge is 225 feet long, linking to a pair of spans on the banks of the river that are 95 feet each. Overall, the project adds a little less than a mile of new trail to the network. Worth noting: The bridge will sometimes swing open to allow for river traffic. But those closures to pedestrians will be brief: The bridge needs roughly 3 minutes to open and another 3 to close. ✨ 1 notable thing: The new span is the only public swing bridge in the city. Zoom in: The swing bridge creates 4.7 miles of uninterrupted trails from Bartram's Garden to the Fairmount Water Works beside the Philadelphia Museum of Art. How to
