Traffic Tips for Navigating Philly
Whether you’re driving from the Ben Franklin Bridge to 76 and Broad Street to Fairmount Park, traffic in Philly can be a nightmare. This week traffic could be even worse than usual. With PennDOT filling some of those pesky potholes, keep an eye out for lane closures on 95, 76, 676, and even routes 422 and 202. Host Trenae Nuri, producer Abby Fritz and Hey, Philly! newsletter editor Brittany Valentine chat about how they get around the city, which streets to avoid and tips on navigating the city by bus, car or ride-share.
