The Chestnut Street bridge over the Schuylkill is closing next week, and it won't be open to traffic again for a year.
The bridge needs repairs, including repairing and repainting the
steel superstructure and replacing the deck. The structure also will be
upgraded with a bike lane, wider sidewalks, and decorative railings.

The long-postponed Pine and Spruce Repaving, Painting and Bike Lane Switch is Happening
This is the newly repaved Pine Street, everyone in their lane and
traffic moving smoothly (for now). Isn't it beautiful? No potholes,
clean and clearly marked lanes.
However,
Spruce Street at our end of town is another matter because of
much-despised utility coordination. The 1500 block of Spruce Street is
scheduled to be complete by September 7, 2019, and the four blocks
between 18th and 21st Street will take longer. Please click or tap here for detailed information in the City's press release.
