The New South Street Bridge, 13 Years In The Making

111008december.jpg Hallelujah! Mayor Nutter held a press conference today to announce the South Street Bridge is finally coming down in December!

In true Philadelphia fashion, an exact date hasn’t been released yet. But here’s the best part of the mayor’s release:

The design phase for the new bridge began in 1995.

Good to see they got right on fixing it. It’ll take about 24 months to complete the bridge, and the city has a whole webpage full of detour maps and other .pdf files. Let’s hope they figure out a day in December to close the bridge sometime soon.

    Somehow the el will be closed between 15th and 69th street because of this.

    Is that seriously an official city website? For shame. And those no-res structrual drawings really help.

    It was probably designed 10 years ago by some low paid intern with dreamweaver.
