Reconstruction of the South Street Bridge is currently under way. The demolition and rebuilding of the bridge requires complete closure of the structure between Convention Avenue (still listed as Civic Center Blvd on Google Maps) and 27th Street, including the on- and off-ramps connecting South Street and I-76.

The University of Pennsylvania has set up a web site with special information on the South Street Bridge Reconstruction, providing details about navigating Penn's campus during the project.
