NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN ALERT! Penn Campus

On April 4, 2009, travelers to Penn’s Campus should expect a new traffic pattern between University Avenue and South Street (in the vicinity of Penn’s medical complex). Civic Center Boulevard will become one-way southbound from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania to Health Sciences Drive. Health Sciences Drive will become one-way northbound. This new traffic pattern was designed to ease the traffic flow and enhance emergency vehicle access to the hospital buildings.

Live Traffic Webcams: The University of Pennsylvania Health System has installed two traffic cams to help motorists view traffic conditions in the areas of Civic Center Boulevard (looking toward University Ave) and 33rd & Market Streets. These cameras provide a live aerial view of the streets and refresh every five minutes. To view the webcams, visit: http://pennhealth.com/alerts/webcams.html
