ONGOING EFFORTS

UnLitter Us. Two little words that remind us how much can be done to rid our streets and our neighborhoods of unsightly, unhealthy trash. Just look around, and help out all year round. Start by not littering yourself. Ask friends and family not to, either. If you see litter, toss it in the trash or into one of those Big Belly Solar Powered trashcans on city street corners. Take the lead – start a Litter Free Zone in your neighborhood or become a Business Ambassador at work. If we all pitch in, we'll move even closer to becoming America's greenest city!

15th STREET BRIDGE BETWEEN CALLOWHILL
AND SPRING GARDEN STREETS CLOSURE
Effective Wednesday, January 16

PHILADELPHIA - Effective Wednesday, January 16, the 15th Street Bridge between Callowhill and Spring Garden Streets will be closed to vehicular traffic, Streets Commissioner Clarena I. W. Tolson announced today. The closure is necessary in response to a routine inspection that found structural damage to the bridge.

The closure is effective for the entire length of the bridge and will be closed to vehicular traffic until further notice, however, pedestrians and bicycles will be permitted to cross. The posted detour route includes Broad Street from Spring Garden Street to Callowill Street.

The Streets Department regrets any inconvenience resulting from this closure. We would like to thank citizens in advance for their patience and cooperation. It is our goal to have the bridge opened as soon as possible.
