PHILADELPHIA - Due to repairs needed to the Martin Luther King Drive Bridge, the Drive will remain closed south of Sweetbriar Drive until rehab construction is completed, officials said Tuesday."An inspection to the underside of the MLK bridge found one of the connections of the steel framing to be about 75 percent deteriorated.
As a result, we will have to keep the bridge closed to traffic until the rehab construction," said Deputy Managing Director for Transportation, Mike Carroll.
