One day until Eagles fans once again take over the city.

Have you told your boss you’re skipping work? Looked over the parade route? Thought of how you’re going to get there?

Here’s something you’ll want to bookmark when making plans, especially if you plan to drive to/in the city: road closures.

Police are warning drivers to avoid the parade area (which stretches from South Philly to the art museum). Officials say significant travel delays in the area should be expected – so allow for extra time when traveling near the celebration and refrain from double-parking (which creates traffic congestion).

Per the city, the following road closures will be in effect…

On Wednesday:

Between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and again from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the inner lanes (inbound and outbound) of the Benjamin Franklin Parkway will be closed from Eakins Oval to 20th Street. The closure will not be in effect during the a.m. and p.m. rush hours, and cross streets will remain open to traffic throughout the day.
