Traffic in Philly might get a whole lot worse

Yeah I hope they plan on widening the Schuylkill to 12 lanes.
As much as everybody wants to see that, unfortunately it will never happen. It's the last of those old-school urban freeways that still has a lot of character over the years, for better or worse, and that's something that would be lost by modernizing it.

PennDOT - District 6 News: Roadway, Utility Construction to Close 9th Street Intersection in Center City Philadelphia

QuotePhiladelphia, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that roadway and utility construction will close 9th Street at the intersection with Vine Street beginning Monday, October 20, under an $8.5 million project to improve safety along a section of Vine Street in Center City Philadelphia.

Motorists are advised of the following travel restriction:

Monday, October 20, through Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 9th Street will be closed and detoured 24/7 at the intersection with eastbound Vine Street.
During the closure, northbound 9th Street motorists will be directed to use Arch Street, 11th Street, and Vine Street.

Beginning Monday, November 3, through Tuesday, February 3, 2026, southbound 9th Street motorists will be directed to use Callowhill Street or Ridge Avenue, 10th Street, and Vine Street.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because significant backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

As part of this safety project, PennDOT will implement several pedestrian and cyclist improvements on Vine Street. The project will include a road diet (reducing the number of lanes from three to two) along Vine Street in both directions between 8th Street and Broad Street (Route 611), upgrading traffic signals; installing ADA-compliant curb ramps, bump-outs, and bike lanes; and performing a complete mill and overlay of the roadway.

C. Abbonizio Contractors, Inc., of Sewell, New Jersey, is the general contractor on the project, which is financed with 100 percent federal funds. Physical construction on the project is expected to finish in the summer of 2026.

For more information, visit the Vine Street Corridor Safety Improvements project page.

Motorists can check conditions on major roadways by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional X alerts.
