SOUTH STREET BRIDGE CLOSURE

The City of Philadelphia has notified Penn that the South Street Bridge
will close for reconstruction beginning Monday, December 8, 2008.

The demolition and rebuilding of the bridge requires the complete
closure of the structure between Convention Avenue and 27th Street,
including the on-and-off-ramps connecting South Street and I-76.

Please be prepared for significant vehicular congestion throughout
University City, as well as periodic traffic and parking changes in the
vicinity of campus for the duration of this 24-month project.

The entire University of Pennsylvania community is encouraged to PLAN
AHEAD for these changes. Visit the University's "South Street Bridge"
website at http://www.publicsafety.upenn.edu/ssbridge/default.asp to
review resources that will enhance your commute to campus, whether you
drive, ride, bike or walk. Have a question about commuting to campus
during the South Street Bridge reconstruction project? Please contact
ssbridge@exchange.upenn.edu.
