A water main break has forced the closure of Spruce Street between 34th and 38th streets until further notice, Penn Medicine said on their website and in a message to patients.
The street closure will impact traffic near the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine and the Clifton Center for Medical Breakthroughs, according to the memo.
“Crews are working to complete repairs as soon as possible, but the road closure may last for several weeks,” Penn Medicine’s memo said.
People traveling to the area are urged to add in extra travel time due to traffic and are encouraged to consider taking public transportation, according to Penn Medicine.
NBC10 was on the scene to see the road shut down on Sunday night.
No word yet on if any damage to buildings was done due to the water main break, but NBC10 is working to learn more.
Anyone with questions about the situation can call Penn Medicine at 800-789-7366 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. on Monday through Friday, according to the memo.
