The I-95 CAP project near Penns Landing, coupled with upcoming street work on Market Street in Old City, will impact SEPTA customers on eight bus routes starting on Sunday, Jan. 14. These projects require buses to be rerouted to new start and end locations.
The stop changes on bus routes 5, 12, 17, 21, 33, 38, 42, and 44 coincide with the start of the closure of the Chestnut Street Bridge for the I-95 Cap project. With the bridge closing, Chestnut Street traffic will be detoured south on Front Street.
The following table shows new start and end locations for each route, and the corresponding changes to bus stops for customers. These changes start on Jan. 14 and will remain in effect until further notice.
| Route | Pre-construction Start/End Locations | New Start/End Locations |
| 5 | Front & Market Loop | Start: 2nd & Arch Streets End: 2nd & Market Streets |
| 12 | Dock Street (between Columbus Blvd & Front Street) | 38th Parallel Place at Spruce Street |
| 17 | Penn’s Landing Viaduct | 2nd Street near Market Street |
| 21 | Penn’s Landing Viaduct | Dock Street (between Columbus Blvd & Front Street) |
| 33 | Penn’s Landing Viaduct | 5th Street (between Arch & Market Streets) |
| 38 | 5th Street (between Arch & Market Streets) | 5th Street (south of Market St at Ludlow Street) |
| 42 | Penn’s Landing Viaduct | 38th Parallel Place at Spruce Street |
| 44 | 5th Street (between Arch & Market Streets) | Front & Market Loop |
Bus route 48 will continue to operate its current routing and retain the current start/end location at Front & Market Loop.
