#travel I-676 between I-95 and I-76 is entirely underwater, as well as portions of I-76 between I-676 and South Street. Seems as if the safest passage onto I-76 if headed Westbound is at Spring Garden Bridge. Kelly Drive is also submerged between Fairmount and where it meets the highways up north.

If you're planning on leaving the city today, check with 511pa.com to confirm road closures before going out.

Here's what I-676 looks like right now:

Black transwomen are most vulnerable to HIV and homelessness, but Philly has no trans-safe emergency shelter.

Mayor Kenney cut housing and homelessness funding during a global pandemic, even though evictions cause COVID deaths.

In Philly, Black neighborhoods are 28x more likely to lack access to a doctor, but Kenney chose to fund white college kids over the Black Doctor’s Consortium.

Insurance profiteer Independence Blue Cross income increased 93% during the pandemic -- and Mayor Kenney cut their taxes.
