The Philadelphia Streets Department will partially reopen the East Wyoming Avenue Bridge on June 6, 2025, following extensive repairs that began after its closure in December 2024. The bridge will feature a temporary traffic configuration, allowing one lane for eastbound and one for westbound vehicles. Pedestrian walkways have remained open throughout the closure and will continue to be accessible for public use.
