The Made in America music festival comes back to Philly this weekend on Sept. 3 and 4, which means road closures and transit changes are already underway.
The two-day festival along Benjamin Franklin Parkway is held annually during Labor Day weekend, filled with musical acts and art installations. In order to accommodate the construction of the venue along the Parkway, the City of Philadelphia began temporary road closures and lane restrictions starting on Sunday, Aug. 28. If you don’t want to run into traffic, it’s best to steer clear of the Parkway for the next week.
The number and extent of street closings and parking restrictions will increase each day until the festival ends. During the festival, expect delays on roadways around Benjamin Franklin Parkway. All road closures will be lifted before morning rush hour on Tuesday, Sept. 6.
