From the newspaper (a few days ago--I just caught up with this, so you all may already have all this information, but here it is if you don't):
Timing on the bridge closure:
The nearly 2-mile-long Benjamin Franklin Bridge, which crosses the Delaware River and handles about 100,000 cars on a normal workday, will be closed to vehicles from 10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 25, to about noon Monday, Sept. 28. The bridge will remain open to pedestrians and PATCO Speed Line rail service will continue to run across the span.
Plus road info.:
Interstate 76, known in Philadelphia as the Schuylkill Expressway, and the Vine Street Expressway through downtown Philadelphia, will also close Friday, Sept. 25, along with a 2-mile portion of U.S. Route 1 near the seminary where Francis is expected to stay.[They have not decided when to reopen them.]
Interstate 95 will remain open to traffic, but some ramps will be closed.
What I find most amazing about this is that, at the same time they are bringing Philadelphia to a halt for the Pope's safety, they have announced, for anyone interested, where he is staying. Unless, of course, that is a decoy and he is staying somewhere else, which would actually be a sensible thing to do. Also, they say he is visiting New York and Washington on the same trip, but there hasn't been a word about safety measures in those places. The whole situation is just plain weird.
