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 finished in Spring 2027.
Construction is currently being done on the Perelman Center's main entrance. Patients enter through temporary doors that are right next to the main door. Work is also happening inside the Perelman Center.
Other improvement projects have already been completed on the Perelman Center driveway, which patients and visitors can now enter from Convention Avenue or Civic Center Boulevard. The remaining work is being done in phases to help minimize the impact to patients.
We will keep this page up to date with the latest information to help you prepare for your visit.
