According to the news, there was a crack in one of the support columns. For some reason, I would have defined this as a fracture rather than a crack....

crack in philly? who woulda guessed

j/k

i hope they fix that before my road trip silver spring MD

 

...good one

 

I wonder how long that went unnoticed?

 

Well, it was noticed back in October but it was like 1/2" thick. It's slightly worse now.

They should have the road way open up in a couple days after the temporary supports are in place. Then they'll work on doing the repairs on the main pillar which will take weeks.

 

.. haha.. crack in philly..

i have not spent too much time there.. but i do know that when i drove through it was disgusting and the traffic was wack.. although none of philly looked as gnarly as when i crossed over Camden, NJ aka "murder city"
