Center City street closes indefinitely after cave-in

Saturday, May 11, 2019
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A busy stretch of Chestnut Street in Center City Philadelphia will be closed indefinitely due to a section of the street collapsing Friday night.

Chestnut Street between 17th and 19th is shut down, because the wheels of a SEPTA bus sank through the roadway, leaving holes.

The Water Department won't know how long repairs will take until crews determine the original cause of the cave-in.
