During this weekday operation, Tacony Street will remain open between Bridge Street and Aramingo Avenue.
During the Bridge Street closure, westbound Bridge Street drivers will be directed to turn left on Tacony Street, then turn right on Aramingo Avenue back to Bridge Street. Eastbound drivers will be directed to turn left onto Torresdale Avenue, right on Van Kirk Street, and right on Tacony Street to access Bridge Street.
