Medical Drive closure near Penn Presbyterian

A large proton therapy expansion project at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center is affecting traffic near the hospital. To support the project, Medical Drive will be closed until further notice. Patients and visitors should use the Filbert Street detour to access the Main Hospital entrance and Visitor Parking Garage.

During construction, SEPTA’s LUCY Gold Route and LUCY Green Route will have temporary stops at 38th and Filbert streets. Visit SEPTA’s LUCY Gold Route and LUCY Green Route pages for schedules and more information.

The multi-year proton therapy expansion project includes the demolition of the Medical Office Building, realignment of Medical Drive, and new building construction.

Perelman Center construction project

To help alleviate traffic and improve the overall patient experience, the Perelman Center for Advanced Medicine is undergoing construction that is expected to be completed in Spring 2027.

The work is being done in phases to help minimize the impact to patients.

Construction is currently being done in the Perelman Center driveway, which may affect space on sidewalks near the building. Traffic due to this phase of the project is expected to be minimal.

Work is also planned for the main entrance, beginning in June 2026.

We will keep this page up to date with the latest information to help you prepare for your visit.
